Today I saw Dr. Hodgins my radiation oncologist to get set up for my radiation schedule.   They made the form (that holds me in place) and did my three tatoos ( to align me with the laser on the instrument).  Dr. Hodgins will then create the program the instrument will use to radiate my breast for the next 7 weeks.  
Tomorrow morning I have a PET scan to look for any reoccurance of my anal cancer.   Tomorrow afternoon they hook me up to an IV to infuse me with iron because I am so anemic.  Wed. I have an appointment with my psychotherapist that deals with cancer patients.  I have no medical stuff on Thu.   Friday I am seeing my colorectal surgeon for a sigmoidoscopy to figure out why I am  having some "issues" up there.  My colorectal surgeon has his exam room set up for maximum discomfort and maximum humiliation.  I always leave that place in tears feeling like I have been violated.  Can't wait until the week is over!!
