Sorry to disappoint, but there's no
buttsex here.
Even
more (slightly) disappointing was that we saw the Charge Nurse in the
Radiation clinic. We had met her before, back in early May when we
met the Radiation Oncologist for the first time.
It
turned out that this was more a case of signing paperwork, and an
instructional for his prostate implant. The proper name for the
procedure is "Implantation of Fiducial Markers into Prostate."
A fiducial
marker is
a small 18kt gold pellet about the size and shape of a grain of rice.
Yes, they're putting gold up his butt!
Prep
includes two (2!) Fleet enemas the morning of the procedure, and they
will be doing a rectal ultrasound when they insert the markers. He
goes in on the morning of September 12th, and he will have to wait
2-3 weeks before the radiation starts. Radiation will be 5 days a
week for 9 weeks. By my estimate, he will be done just before
Christmas.
MY estimate was, finished in early December.
ReplyDeleteThen there is the 2 week waiting period afterwards, which puts it closer to Christmas. Either way,it will have been over a year for all this.
