Journal entry by Jordan Bailey —
After a weekend of no appointments, Monday was a full one. A catscan and meeting with the radiation oncologist, the day was taken up by making sure the radiation was mapped out perfectly. Today was multiple visits with a nutritionist, eye doc, radiology, oncologist, then back to radiation. Hoping that she's now coming out of sedation from the first round of radiation. She also wasn't allowed to eat all day before radiation. Hoping that changes, as radiation will be 5 days a week for the next 6 weeks. She'll get a port put in tomorrow to alleviate the many IV's needed throughout radiation.
The good thing is that a treatment has finally started. Finally something to try and fix this. Zahra is hopefully looking forward to a weekend with some friends visiting, as well as her Gram and myself. Mina travels up Friday with friends, Xander went up to stay a bit this past Sunday with his grandparents, and Henry's been hanging with her the whole time. -Jordan
