A small bump in the road...and hoping that's all !

Radiation has been going smoothly until a small bump... well it's really all how you look at it. This week the "machine" was "down" and I missed a treatment...doesn't sound too bad. Then today they called about an hour before my treatment and said it wasn't working again. I have to have 33 treatments in all. WELL... the problem is that 2 days after my treatments will be over I am "out of here". Jim and I are going with two other couples for a week on a Catamaran in the British Virgin Islands. We had planned this trip before I found out about the "C". SO.... being the sweetheart that my therapist Karen Myers is, she talked with Dr. Meyers (no relation) and he let me go out to the West office. They gave me an hour to get from my house, to Ft. Sanders, to pick up my mold (it's this contraption I have to lie in ), papers and get back out west. Well, I did it in one hour & 10 mins in bumper to bumper traffic. They were able to wedge me in and will also be doing my treatment in the morning. I hope the machine at Ft. Sanders is fixed by Monday. I really like the people who see me there. Let's just say they are "really friendly" and supportive ! I sure am thankful for nice people in this world. Jim and I are going over night tomorrow to Atlanta to meet up with some dear friends. We will be back Saturday and look forward to Easter Sunday at church.
