Next Tuesday we visit another Oncologist who will tattoo the targets on my neck where the radiation will be aimed. Hmm, targets, eh? HAR! Maybe he can be convinced them to make them interesting, since they are permanent.
Long story short, the plan will be for 7 weeks of radiation therapy with chemo twice a week. From what they are telling me, it ain't gonna be a picnic, with some permanent damage to my salivary glands highly likely. Whatever, my faith is strong, and I have many friends and family members to offer support throughout this bloody ordeal, including you fellers.
My plan is to stay on this site throughout the sessions and beyond. After the treatments are over, the docs say I will heal and be back to normal, whatever that is, in a short time. The outlook is bright, so I see no reason to panic. In the meanwhile, it will be back to duck and goose shootin' until the season ends, or I become debilitated from the treatments, whichever comes first.
