Radiation Day 3

I'm now out of my 5th radiation treadment with only one more to go. I'm kind of beat, and don't feel too swell right now, but I've still been able to get up and ride the exercise bike. Also, it's early still, with no coffee allowed, so I think a certain lack of enthusiasm is understandable.

Jane is coming up today, so I'm pretty excited about that. I may also have other visitors, as energy permits.

It's been a good time to catch up on movies and tv and books.

I just finished my last treatment an hour or so ago - so no more irradiation.. Woohoo.

 

BTW, I found a great wikipedia article on TBI - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_body_irradiation

Now that it's done, I found it surprising to learn that 4.5 Gy is the LD 50 dose. Having had almost three times that, I hope this stem cell thing goes works as planned. You gotta love modern science :)
