Day 6, Radiation

Bone Marrow check
 Results are not in but no one expects there to be anything but really really healthy cells to kill.  The problem with her current system is that it acts up when no one is looks.

Radiation Simulation:

Go into a big room go in between a device that Meb described as a torture devise with a big bicycle seat.  She will have to stand between two big pieces of Plexiglas for 45 minutes, two times a day, for 4 days.
 She is getting 12 grays(units) at the mid point of the radiation, they will shield her lungs lest she develop some horrible inflammation in her lungs.

I thought maybe since we had been through this before there would be less trauma for everyone.  I am just shut down, I cannot think about this. It is all so horrific. 

Good news:  She is transported by ambulance twice a day for treatment.  No parking hassles.
