Treatment Card

Hi Friends,
Above is a copy of my radiation card. At the bottom is a scanner sticker, so each time I enter the waiting area for an appointment I scan this card. My photo comes up to confirm my identity, and the treatment unit is informed that I have arrived. Then the computer in the unit brings up my radiation specifications. When I walk in the room they ask me my birthday to confirm it's me, and everything else in in place. With 457 people getting radiation at PMH each day, this system makes it all run very smoothly. Another reason for me to be thankful I'm getting treatment down there.
Today, Catherine, Susan Fast, my mother and I went to see a movie. It's nice to have my mother here, and we have had a good reunion. Tomorrow my cousin Ellen--who had ovarian cancer--is coming into town and we will all have lunch together. Then the countdown begins for the last day of treatment...I'm excited and scared.
Mostly excited.
Much love,
Kip
