The Beast

[furzicle]

I lie on a hard, narrow table in a bleak, sparely appointed room. A chill is beginning to permeate my existence. I know there is a monstrous machine of radioactivity lurking behind me, waiting to pierce my brain.

Ooh, what a nifty beast! I’m glad it is able to kill the tumor so effortlessly! Best wishes for a full recovery. ❤️

Sincere thanks!

Perhaps I should write this somewhere else but I wanted you to know that I always take inspiration from your writing.

That’s so sweet of you to say - thank you!

Oh, hon, this is INTENSE. Oddly enough, I have a cousin who recently underwent a similar scenario, complete with mesh bodyguard/inadvertent Halloween decoration, but for metastasized breast cancer. I am over here booing your uninvited guest's comeback but I am glad to hear there is a non-invasive means to eradicate him! I wish you the best of luck in your treatments! <3

Yes, they told me how they use this equipment for other organs. It even is smart enough to compensate for breathing when the cells to be removed are situated on a part of the body that has to keep moving, like your chest. Best wishes to your cousin!

How wonderful - the technology that's coming through in medicine over the past 50 years is astounding.

By the time this thing grows back, (I'm told perhaps fifteen years), I'm hoping that even more amazing technology will be ready for it. What's especially gratifying is that there's no pain and no risk of infection such as would be present with surgery.

That is incredible, truly! I've never even had so much as an MRI done, and this seems similar but more intense. Best of luck in your recovery!

Oh dear, I am so glad you don't need surgery and have access to this new wonder! Good wishes!
