What Halfway Looks Like


Sherry asked the technician to take a photo of her after they had her ready for today's radiation therapy.

As you can see in the photo Sherry is wearing a rigid, form fitting mask that is bolted to the table in order to keep her head absolutely still.  The machine (I'm sure it has a much more elegant name) is programed to fire beams of radiation in seven different locations designed to torment the tumors.

The good news is that the process doesn't seem to be tormenting Sherry too much at this juncture.

We wish the tumors a hard knock life!

  2. That's quite a mask in that photo. A few days too late for Halloween but perhaps you two can hang on to it and use it next year!

    As always, we are thinking of you and sending good ju-ju your way. Let me know when sour lemon cake sound good.
