SRT 11 of 39......what a day

Today was #11, it was delayed for 2 hours because of an "emergency", though no one would ever say what it was.  I was already sore from the stopped up catheter episode this morning (see thread below) and it took 55 minutes to get the treatment done with the radiation.  It was the original crew that seems to endless trouble with alignments.  Twice, they said good to go, and position the machine to do the first zap, and they had to abort and bring the machine back to the top.  No explanations are ever giving, in the position I am in, I can hear them talking barely, but they are out of my line of sight being on my back.

Was going to gripe to the Radiaiton Oncologist, my day to see her, but by the time that got screwing around with the treatment ,the doctor had left the building with a message that I could talk to her after Wednesday's treatment.

Perfect ending to a perfect day.

Yes, I am sore and aggervated as hades, so excuse my tone.

Hey David,

Some days just don't seem to go right no matter what you do and it looks like you had a bad one today. Take a deep breath and remember that we are all here to share the good and bad days with you and each other. Hopefully tomorrow and the days after that will be much better for you. Keep that chin up and stay with us on this journey.

Keep well,

Regards,

Bill

Thank you Kelli, how's your dad doing?

Thanks, Bill, I don't usually have days as bad and aggerating as this one. I will fine tommorow, I hope, lol.

Sephie, I agree with you, the problems seem to be with this crew, and one of them (both women) was physically treating me rough down there prepping for the zap, and it was hurting, because of today's blockage. She had an attitude because of her bad days. Me, decided, best not to stir things up and just laid there and closed my eyes and waited for it to end.

I promise you, Sephie, and any other member here at HW, I relay as accurate accounts of this PC journey as I can. I have no reason to lie or make up things, the real thing is bad enough by itself. lol.

Thank you Bob

Ohio, at the clinic they only seem to have hangups on the IMRT machine, the other radiation machines have steadly lines of people in and out while I wait. Well, only 28 more to go!

David, I think I would discuss this with the Dr. and possibly ask her to observe the procedure. There should not be that much difficulty getting you in the correct place. I get so frustrated for you. Good luck tomorrow.
