Can-do I hope you are right!
I am counting on this computer-controlled robotic radiation system killing my tumor so I can keep thriving like superman.

"Faster than a speeding bullet.
More powerful than a locomotive.
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

Look! Up in the sky!
It's a bird. It's a plane. It's Superman!

Yes, it's Superman - strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Superman - who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steel with his bare hands, and who, disguised as Clark Kent, mild mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights the never ending battle for Truth, Justice and the American Way."

Heck, I would settle for just being a mortal man.
Then all I would need is my Lois Lane. A young Teri Hatcher as Lois Lane would do just fine.
(Hey, I may have lost my libido because of this disease but I haven't lost my mind). haha

I go in on Monday the 30th to have the gold markers implanted near the tumor in my liver on Monday. The radiation beam follows the markers when I breathe so it can follow the tumor and zap it about 100 times per treatment session. This is the start of the 3 1/2 week treatment.

Completed my 5 radiation treatments Monday, Oct 28th. Radiation sickness is not someone I would recommend but if it can kill enough of my tumor to get a transplant obviously it is a small price to pay.
