Is Enough, Enough?

After today’s treatment I am almost 90% through my scheduled 33 doses. The treatments are precise and highly targeted and I know that the consultant and radiographers want to give enough to get the job done without the excesses that can lead to more severe side effects and increased risks down the line.

So presumably at some point towards the end of my treatment I should have received enough doses to kill the remaining cancerous cells. Clearly that has to be before the end of the treatment but has it already happened, is it today or is it still to come? Or, and we really don’t want to think about this just yet, but maybe it isn’t enough.

Today’s treatment was completely straightforward after the scheduling complexities of yesterday. Still no tiredness though and the side effects have settled down and are easily manageable.
