My radiation simulation went fairly well, though stressful. Had a CT with contrast that was less than optimum, but doable according to the radiology oncologist. I had been so concerned about prepping with having a clean bowel that I think I went overboard leaving me with a bowel filled with gas. That required 2 attempts to release the gas and was mostly successful. After the scan, the radiation technologist tattooed the spots where the stickers had been placed on my pelvis. It will take approximately 2 weeks before I will begin the pelvic radiation sessions. Meanwhile, I am most concerned about how to go to the morning sessions with an empty bowel as I am chronically struggling with constipation.
