I started RTX today. The TOMO machine was down so the doc put me on a regular IMRT machine. Tomorrow he said he would put me on the TOMO if it is fixed. Hopefully this back and forth between machines does not compromise the treatment. The RO has two plans, one for each machine.
Tomorrow I am being admitted to put a PEG in.
Chemo starts this Friday 6/10. They want to hydrate me three times a week. Is this normal? MO said he plans to include lots of nausea and anti-vomit meds.
I will be counting on all your advice and support to get me through this period. Thank you in advance for everything!
