After treatment this morning, David had the cone down scan to prepare for the radiation boost that will start on Monday 3/25. He said it was similar to the first planning scan he had when he was getting set up to receive radiation. This cone down scan and probe inserted into his “rear USB port” is used to measure the tumor to adjust the radiation beams for the final week of therapy to maximize the radiation to the tumor bed. David said they remarked his “tattoos” with a sharpie, and we were on our way about 30 minutes later. We stopped and had an early lunch and had a pretty good afternoon watching it rain.
