Hi everyone, finally met with my radiologist Dr and I'm scheduled for 5 radiation treatments every other day. First they have to do mapping, so I think treatment will start in October. I say to my self Keep The Faith ❤️🙏

Your positive attitude and faith will be such valuable assets as you begin this journey. Many patients find it helpful to prepare for radiation by wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothes to appointments, staying well-hydrated, and asking their care team about any specific skin care recommendations during treatment. The mapping session is an important step that helps ensure precision, and it's wonderful that you're taking things one step at a time with such strength.

After chemo, I had 5 radiation treatments. The radiation treatments have kept my pancreatic cancer from progressing. I am grateful for this time to enjoy life.

Radiology finished mapping me. They will contact me in 20 days to schedule treatments. Why the wait. Don't understand any of this.
