So, today it all begins. Well, I'm referring to gopi's treatment. The docs took her in to do some examination and mark the area where they will perform the radiation. They marked a square below her belly - about 6 or so square inches where they will focus the radiation
It is supposed to go on for 5 weeks. The first day there will be a chemo drip for an hour followed by radiation, then four more days of radiation. For a total of 5 days a week followed by two days rest, then it repeats again likewise for 5 weeks. After that, a break for two weeks and then two days of internal radiation (through the vagina) once a week.
Hopefully, things will go well and she won't have too many adverse reactions - nausea, diarrhea, hair loss are just a few on them...
