Hanging out with Cathy

Wednesday, I drove Cathy to her appointment to have her fitted for her Radiation mask. It is quite a process.  They have a mesh mask that they dip in water and fit around her face/head.  The mesh hardens kind of like plaster.  Next, they did a CT scan to make markers on the mask. The idea is that the mask will hold her head in exact same spot each time she goes in for her radiation treatments. Their goal is to just zap the tumors and nothing else.  I forgot to take my camera but I told Cathy we need to be better about documenting her journey (or roller coaster ride as she calls it) through pictures.

Thursday, we went to get her hair cut and colored. Cathy's son Justin is coming home from his mission on Wednesday and the entire family will be in town for a huge celebration and family pictures. I remembered to take my camera on Thursday.  Here is Cathy getting her new hair cut.
