Tattoo

I spoke with my parents yesterday. Just catching up. They were glad that I'm done with chemo. Hardest part's over. Radiotherapy should be a walk in the park.

When I told mom that I'll be going in for my RT planning this Tuesday, she's happy that I'm getting ready for the 2nd part of my treatment. But when I told her I'm getting tattooed, she was aghast! Tattoo? Why do I need tattooes?

I laughed and explained that the markers (just tiny dots the size of a very small mole) for the radiotherapy treatment have to be tatooed on me since this will go on for six and a half weeks. We could hardly keep on marking every so often with not so permanent markers. I don't know how many dots I'll be getting, but I think it's probably between 3 and 6.

Well, I got my head shaved, now I'm getting tatooed! Wonder what's next?
