Brain cancer is...



...about to get super blasted!

Above is the paper-towel drawing that Dr. Dolkar did during our initial meeting with her in February, as she described the radiation plan. 


She let us know that the last seven treatments would be what's called "the boost."  During the boost, the radiation is concentrated directly on the tumor itself (or where it was before surgery, anyway).  During the first 23 treatments, radiation covered not just the tumor but the larger region beyond the tumor where there was post-surgical swelling.


Welcome to the boost, Baby!

  1. Good to know that architects aren't the only ones that draw on napkins. I approve of the medium of this message.

  2. Laughing out loud! Artists do too. Toulouse Lautrec drew on the paper table coverings in Paris. JK Rowling started Harry Potter on a napkin. It might be a new rule for everyone.
