Day 10 of 25

Vanessa was sweet enough to take me to treatment today. She is a special guest on the blog. It was interesting to read someone else's perspective on my small, secretive world of treatment. The facility is in such a quiet part of South San Francisco, you feel like you're sneaking up to the building. Today was x-ray day, to ensure my body is lining up the same as the original plan for treatment. The LINAC machine does it all. It turns clockwise until the x-ray arm is to my left. Then it turns counter clockwise and administers my radiation. Probably because I was with Vanessa and she's such a creative inspiration, I was thinking about interesting ways to document the treatment. It's so hard to describe. Should I film it with my own camera? Would they let me set one up in the Tahoe Room? What am i willing to publicly expose? Whether or not anyone reads the blog. I have my weekly appointment with my Radiation Oncologist, so I can ask for permission then. If I think I'll really do it. After treatment, Vanessa and I had a lovely lunch of yellow split pees and squash. Then we went for a peaceful walk on a Pacifica trail. The sky was an opaque grey and the forest - mossy and wet. we saw in this order, deer, a small, grey bunny and a beautiful bobcat. He was sitting in a field, observing. He seemed magical.
