Radiation Day! Traffic was good and we arrived at the hospital 10 minutes before 9:00 a.m. Mark said I didn't even look nervous. I wasn't. I was actually looking forward to it.
While waiting for them to call me, I heard a volunteer said all radiation machines are broken. Every single one at the hospital. What are the odds that could happen? I was hoping she was wrong.
We waited until we met a radiation technician named Dennis to give us a quick radiation education. I had a few questions and that education session ended in like 5-10 minutes. Then we were told to go back to reception and wait. About 15 minutes later, my radiation technician approached me and said all their machines were broken and do not know when it will be up and running again. The network was down. Either we wait until it is fixed; call back this afternoon just in case it does get fixed; or, go back tomorrow. What?!?!?!
I psyched myself it will happen today. My first radiation. I guess some things are beyond our control but what a bummer! I'll try to call the hospital after lunch and hopefully book an appointment this afternoon. It's like prolonging the agony. I just want it over and done with.
