Day 1 Is Lots of Fun

Not a problem. There I was, all prepared for projectile vomit, with a waterproof wastebasket and towel by the bed, and nothing happened. What a relief. The only apparent side effect is constipation.

Turns out this is a side effect of the anti-nausea medication, Zofran. I learned this little tidbit during a visit to my radiation oncologist today in Chapel Hill. I also learned that the Cyberknife radiation treatment three months ago did what it was supposed to do - shrunk the tumor on my heart very significantly, from 1.6 cm to 1 cm. Yea!

The temodar treatment continues for 4 more days. Based on last nights experience, I'm planning on playing golf tomorrow morning.
