Treatment Started

I began my treatment this past Tuesday and just completed my fourth session today. Just 24 more sessions to go. Feel okay so far and the drive to and from UCLA has been bearable so far.

I am receiving a total of 180 centigrade of radiation per session at the isocore (i.e., tumor). Since there are nine beams/entry points, each beam will deliver about 20 centigrade of radiation. The 180 centigrade is considered to be in the normal range for radiation therapy treatment.
