| My right foot, 2 nodules |
I go in for my first treatment and tell the assistant about my other foot. He moves forward with the treatment on my right foot. They lay me down on my stomach, prop my foot on a pillow, lay the bolus over the treatment area, places the mold in place, and administers the dose. It takes about 45 seconds to deliver the dose. He comes back in with Dr. Hochman. We do another exam of the left foot and YES, I have a nodule there! Overnight? I remember several people saying their nodules came up overnight. We move forward with making a mold for the left foot. It also gets 4 tattoos (ouch) and mapped. I will return that afternoon for that treatment. They will make the mold and do the insurance paperwork. I return in the afternoon, treat the left foot. The Tuesday - Friday treatment goes according to plan. It takes appx 45 seconds a foot. The office is on-time every single day. So within 10 minutes I am in and out and on my way.
The two round circles are fibromas, the larger circled fibroma is appx 1.4 mm and the smaller .8 mm. A shield was made to administer the radiation to the are within the larger area. There are 4 tattoo's, not very visible. The R.O. used a sharpie to mark the nodules and area to be irradiated.
