LOL BUt with them, I'm sure I'll survive for awhile. I got an update today from the RO on what I will be going thru the 29th. Sounds like an interesting day for someone.Go to the OR , get the tubes inserted along with a breating tube, then to XRAY to make sure the tubes are in the right places, then to a room on the far end of the Hospital and get surrounded by lead and then they put in the Rad pellets. They even stop your abilty ot have bowel movements and insert a catheter. LOL then who knows?
