Now I'm a Real Hotpocket
I have decided to get radiation. I will now just have a small chance of getting another cancer as a result of the radiation, but it is minimal. They will be shoving me into their glorified microwave 17 times over 3 weeks. I will get blue dot tattoos to mark the fields. We will radiate my hip, my T-8 vertebral body and my sternum. They will use some electron method for radiating the sternum, which means that radiation will go only a short distance and not pass all the way through my body.
Monday is my CT scan that they will use to map out my body to see where they will shoot me. Then a few days later I will begin the daily trips to get my treatments. I will get a total of 3000 rads to my tumor sites, which is the standard dose that tends to kill rougue mutant lymphoma cells.
I'll probably bring in a poptart and put it on my hip so when they radiate me I will also heat up my breakfast.

Well, you can have breakfast while being irradiated. Although, I doubt they would use microwave-type photons. They will probably use high energy photons like x-rays or gamma-rays.

Great to see you last week...through it all you've still managed to stay lookin good :) Great match last week, I can't wait to see you guys in the post-season! It was great to talk to you, I wish we had more time to chat. Maybe after the season we can all get together again. Good luck with all the radiation - it's almost over... :o)
