Radiation Treatment Planning

Caroline had her radiation oncology simulation at Vanderbilt today.  The team measured/marked her treatment area and fitted her for a custom mesh stabilizer brace that will hold her still during the radiation treatment.  She will begin the 20 cycles on Wednesday, February 26th, going every weekday until completion.  Potential short-term side effects are: nausea, fatigue and redness/tenderness near the radiated skin.

We are VERY proud of Caroline's bravery (always, but especially today)...she did a great job calming herself down using a mediation technique her Aunt Joanna taught her to power through the scary prep process.  She is wise and mature beyond her years; we are very fortunate!

Thank you so much for the continue kind words, prayers, and support...much appreciated!

Love,
The Lantz Family
