radioactive

The last 2 days has been radiation treatment for shanean.
She goes through an underground passageway to the radiotherapy building - once there they tape receptor things all over her which measure the dosage she gets. She then lies in a perspex box with her knees bent. They put rice bags on her shoulders so that she is an even square shape so that the radiation works evenly - then she will be left alone in the room whilst they blast her for 20mins

She gets this at 900am and 300pm although todays afternoon session was delayed and she had to wait around until 500pm

All this is destroying her bone marrow so her bone marrow transplant is this thursday. Christene goes in tomorrow at 830am to be "harvested" - she will have a few more tests in the morning then the extraction should take about three hours

Hopefully shanean should move to her own room tomorrow as she needs to be isolated whilst her immunity is gone. This will be a lot more comfortable for her and will also make it easier for the kids to visit her (so long as they are healthy)
