Today Bill & I took Buddy to see Dr. Cyman for his final radiation treatment. Dr. Cyman came out and told us what to watch for as his disease progresses.
While we had the opportunity, Bill asked her a question about the safety of her job and the radiation and the "vault" as she called it. It was quite an education, most of it was over my head, but I can say that the "vault" where the treatment occurs has concrete walls 3 feet thick, and a 10,000 pound lead door. She said that they "over shielded" the "vault" for safety purposes.
It was quite an education that I never wanted.
On Thursday, Buddy starts the vaccine for melanoma. It is a series of 4 shots ever other week. Then a booster at 6 months.
We'll see how that goes, and will be switching back to Dr. Freeman.
Buddy is in good spirits and Mom is spoiling him rotten.
