The Mask

This afternoon Curt had a mesh mask molded of his face. This will be used to hold his head still during the treatments and have the markings for the radiation. They also took another MRI and will use this with previous MRIs and other data to plan where exactly they will do the radiation. He will not return until November 19, when they will do the actual simulation. The treatments will begin the next day and continue for a total of 35 (over 7 plus weeks).

We both had our Shingles vaccine last Friday and now should be set for a while.

On Saturday, Curt blew the leaves off our roof and from the yard into the street. This afternoon he went for a walk after his appointment. Tomorrow afternoon he hopes to "hit a few" tennis balls with a friend.

Sunday we celebrated Vega's third birthday in Lake Oswego. We also got to hear both girls sing in the Angel Choir at their church that morning. This picture is of Vega combing the "right" side of Curt's hair. His other side is looking better every day!
