Hi all,
Just to update, had four pins placed in bone last Thursday. Tumor is malignant and is mets from neck and throat. Still having limited mobility in arm and the moment I get up and arm isn't elevated it begins swelling, badly! I had my radiation simulation and maintenance today, staples are yo be removed tomorrow and begin treatment next week (An additional week to hopefully eliminate some more swelling and to finalize the calculations and dose. Pain was reduced after pins put in, however tumor has really fired up past few days. Ready to get this on and torch this tumor!!!!! Thanks for the Prayers and encouragement.
