No more radiation!


Meg received the last of her 30 radiation treatments today, and got to take home the plastic mask that was used to immobilize and align her head during radiation. Her radiation oncologist was very pleased with her progress. She now gets a month off (with an Avastin/placebo infusion halfway through) before she starts her schedule of 5 days of chemotherapy a month and an infusion every 2 weeks.

In honor of Meg's graduation I presented her with a home-made "chemotherapy/radiation/craniotomy Barbie", who is now manning her computer in the lab, awaiting Meg's return to work in March. I was spurred on by the recent announcement that Barbie will (by popular vote) become a computer professional.

  5. Hurray for reaching this milestone and enjoy the break. Personally, I've always preferred Eating Disorder Barbie, but there you have it.
