I had my second appointment with the Radiation Therapist yesterday. They did a CT Scan in order to have a picture of where to line up the "gamma knife." They had to put 3 small tattoos on my chest and sides. This way thay can line up with the tattoos everytime and the treatment can be done quicker. Otherwise, I'd have to get a CT scan everytime,I suppose. My next appointment is Tuesday, where they will do a "Virtual Treatment" to make sure everything is lined up correctly. Then on Wednesday, I will start the actual radiation treatments. Everyday, except Saturday and Sunday, for the next 4 weeks. Barring any complications, I'll be finished with all of the treatments on April 27th.

Cool, tattoos! Do you get to pick the ones they give you? Maybe little skulls with fire coming out the eye sockets...
Well no, the tattoos are just tiny little black dots. You can't even really see them unless you look really hard.
tatooed freckles - they'll be all the rage next year. Zero, you're such a trend-setter!
Are they in a cool place or over your kidney or something? Because you could get a great tatoo done over them when you're finally over this mess.
Hang in there bro. Maybe after all this is done you can come down to FL and we'll all get reeeeaaaalllly drunk.
As a matter of fact, it might be a necessity.
