41. Radiation Therapy, Session 18 of 20 (90%)
September 22, 2022
Update.
As usual, we started off with arriving early at the radiation oncology unit for the 8-9 AM time slot. Someone else was in my usual waiting room seat so here’s another view of the area. The rooms housing the linear accelerators (Linac) are in the background (closed green door on the left, and open door on the right). The radiation technologists sit in the glass-walled rooms next to the Linac rooms. There is a yellow and black-striped line on the floor marking the “radiation zone” – so for example, if you were pregnant you wouldn’t be allowed to step beyond that line since radiation beams could harm the fetus.
After the brief radiation therapy boost session, I am 90 percent done. Two more sessions remaining: tomorrow (Friday) then the last one on Monday morning! 
I had time for a cup of coffee between radiation and the follow-up visit with the radiation oncologist. Nothing for Doreen, although I think she is curious about my mocha… probably asking why I decided to forego the whipped cream.
Finally, unrelated to radiation therapy: mom and I had lunch at Alex III restaurant. I had their famous chicken barbecue, accompanied by Java “Barbecue” Sauce. Doreen and I wondered why “barbecue” was in quotation marks.
