I still haven't heard from the Radiation Center as to when my treatment will begin. They said last Wednesday they would call me in a couple of days once the treatment plan was complete. I figure they probably didn't start the planning until Thursday, so its only been a few business days. I remember from when Warren had radiation treatment that they have physicists who do the planning on these things, plotting all the angles to ensure that all the areas that need treatment receive it.
It sure feels like "been here, done that" to me. The difference is, this time I'll be the one on the table. I decided that I needed to find a different way of thinking about this experience. A way that would sustain me and keep me strong. An image came to me of molten metal in the smelting process. I will use the image of the radiation as the heat that will burn off the dross (the impurities) leaving me stronger in the process. That image feels like a strong place to center myself from in all this.
I can do this.

ReplyDeleteThat is a great image! You start out as strong metal and end up even stronger. Switching metaphors, I will loan you the spirit of Buck, hero dog, as someone who will bring you home if you ever feel lost.
