Radiation starts on the 25th. Three days brain (Friday, Monday, Tuesday) and then three days TBI. They kept calling it TBI which is ‘total body irradiation’ but I kept thinking "annihilation” (yes that would be TBA but we could say “innihilation”) whereas Marlon was thinking “incineration”. No matter what the “I” stands for, it will be rough.
TBI is twice daily, morning and afternoon.
This will be done as outpatient with Marlon being admitted on the 1st (third day) as long as he isn't too sick before that.
We are on the waitlist for the Ronald McDonald House as of the 24th. No guarantees when one will get in. It is a busy place and filled to capacity.
I am assuming that, by Tuesday the 29th, we will be staying in Toronto, and be there for three months. If there is no space at RMH we may be couch-surfing until the 1st when Marlon becomes an inpatient.
Early morning with the mist in the field.
