Yesterday I visited the radiation center to get my body mapped out for the positioning of the radiation beams. The technician applied tape with soldering wire affixed to it in a perimeter around the breast to delimit the area that will be radiated. Then he took CT scans of the area. I must say that it's an interesting process, albeit one I wish I never knew about. I now have 4 tattoos (just little blue marks) that will help them set up radiation exactly where they need it to go.
I also received the schedule for radiation, that has me finishing up on May 17th. Disregarding herceptin infusions every 3 weeks til September, I should be all done treatment on that day!
My hair is starting to come back in, and looks like baby bird fuzz...
