First treatment day changed

Howdy - Well Jeanine got her phantom-of-the-opera mask made yesterday. The actual process that she went through was slightly different than we had understood originally. She will be lying down rather than sitting; there is also a "form" made that rigidly supports her entire body, as well as her head. She will be positioned on her back, and the rear of the mask attaches firmly to the platform. The first treatment is now scheduled to begin June 7th. She will receive the radiation treatment in the afternoon, and then begin the oral chemo that same night. In her own words "I'm ready to get on with this". She gets a little weary in late afternoons, she needs to rest, and there is still some swelling over the trauma site. Doctors assure us that all is well.
Gods blessings to all.

Bill
