Yes, It can always be worse

And so it is.  Mike was laid off today.  His company shut down their R&D division and laid off three directors, of which Mike was one.  The next person to say, "God won't give you more than you can handle," gets clocked. God didn't do this to us.  Shit happens.

Radiation Starts Tomorrow

Mike starts his radiation treatments tomorrow (Monday, November 16, 2009).  This will go everyday except weekends for the next 8 weeks.  So this will go until January 8, 2010.  The radiation therapy is called external beam radiation therapy or EBRT.  If fatigue sets in it should not be until toward the end of the treatments.  Hope for the best.

Mapping


Today Mike went in for his mapping appointment.  It's basically an ultrasound test that pinpoints the areas they will irradiate.  The interesting part is how they mark the spots so that they know exactly where they will return to each day.  They tattoo a small dot in the four places directly on the body.  So now Mike has his motorcycle and four little tats.  He's such a bad ass.
