Robin, how are your sister's treatments going?

Last week, during my pre-simulation MRI and simulation both I cried from the physical and emotional stress of being strapped on to the table for about 1.5 hours each.

Make sure your sister is as physically comfortable as possible...

Ask about a blanket in case she's cold...Cold has a way of magnifying pain and discomfort, and they usually keep the RAD rooms chilly I've noticed.

Maybe there's a favorite CD she can listen to while having the treatments?

Of course, knowing you're just outside and a strong advocate for her health care is usually a great feeling too!

Don't hesitate to be FIRM with the team....Don't forget they are working FOR your sister, (and getting paid a ton!)...There's a fine line between being demanding and disrespectful, and you'll know how to be diplomatic but proactive.

So, give us an update when you get a chance, and if you already have in another thread, I appologize, I couldn't find any later post.

My best wishes to you and your sister, she's lucky to have someone like you on her side!
