Markers last Wednesday, tattoos today and first treatment tomorrow. Thanks for the warnings on the marker appointments, yes it was difficult to lay there perfectly still for an hour!

    You have done the hardest part... at least for me the marking appts. The actual treatments were quick and I had very few side effects.

    Take Care.. and God Bless...

    Good luck with your radiation. You will meet alot of women and it is comforting to know you are not alone. I had a very bad skin reaction, however, most the women I met had absolutely no reaction. God Bless, oh, get lots of rest. The radiation made me very tired.

    All my best vibes to you tomorrow!!!!! Watch for the signs of sunburn....ask for something if it shows....otherwise, for me, this part was easy....except for the 'boost' ones at the end....one of the attachments on the machine made me think I had stumbled into a Star Trek set!!!!

    Hugs, Kathi
