Master Max

Today Max got to go with us to Michie's radiation treatment. He had a great time. Really. The radiation staff were completely amazing. They let him adjust the table (like the one in the photo above) and check out the laser lines. Then he got to go into the control booth while they gave the treatments. They even let him push the button and tell his Mama when to hold her breath and when to relax. At the end of it all they loaded him up with candy and those yellow Armstrong foundation wrist bands. He left happy and very excited about all the big fancy equipment that he got to see and touch.

I was very pleased with how the staff handled his visit. I think it was really good for him to see what we have been talking about for the two months. He didn't have too many questions but he did say that it was very cool to go to radiation. We feel the same way. It is cool and we are glad to have access to such cool machines.

Yes, he is the master of charm...he was giddy with sugar and excitement over participating in my "Star Wars" experience.

Cynthia's been a trooper driving me to and from radiation...I really think it's her secret ploy to have two-sie time with me - but the reality is that I probably would have been in an accident already if I drove myself...the crushing onset of fatigue shortly after the radiation treatments is unfathomable.

So here's a cheer to being more than half way through my treatment schedule and to the love and support from everyone.
