Actually it is just beyond the 28th into the 29th....oh well...Four Pillars of Radiation Medicine
Linda had her time with the radiation people today and got scanned and tattooed and all....this is to make sure the radiation hits the exact spot and does so every time....she starts Tuesday and goes every weekday for 10 days..and then chemo in the three week cycles. If anyone wants to take her to a session of radiation..which the actual radiation session from beginning to end is but a few minutes....and get to ride the tram up to the hospital and back.....let us know...her first session is 12:40 pm on Tuesday and on that day we are supposed to hear the times after that.... she also has a bone builder infusion at 2:30 pm down below on the waterfront....
Dr. Holland went out of his way to come over to see Linda today..a very nice man...he was honored in 2010 in the Portland Monthly as one of the top doctors in Radiation Oncology in Portland....not surprised....

Wow, does he have an impressive pedigree. Wish I could be there to do the shuttle. I love trams and you two too.

Hi Linda: Good luck with your radiation and chemo treatments. I also saw Dr. Holland when I had my stem cell transplant at OHSU 11 months ago. He is great. I will be thinking about you. Hope all goes well. The tram is kind of fun to ride on....... Love, JO
Wish we lived a lot closer as you know I'd volunteer to ride the tram with you any day! :) Have a lovely relaxing weekend, and good luck with the radiation next week.
Love,
Jim and Swee
Hi Linda: looks like you are in excellent hands; that should rub off on your health picture ... no more coughing in the future!
Loved the pictures on the latest blogs, especially the one of you 30th love-birds! What a team and couple!
Got the invite for the celebration ... will be there!
Lots of love in the meanwhile.
