Update - Next Steps on the Wise Journey

Update smile emoticon

I got a call from my specialist last night so there is a plan (kind of) in place I thought I would share.

On Tuesday March 1st at 9:00 am I am going to Princess Margaret to meet the radiation oncologist specialist. There they will go over the plan in detail. I will also get a CT Scan on my thigh. This CT scan will be reviewed by specialists (including a physicist which I thought was interesting) to make a personal radiation profile for my leg.

Radiation will start 10 – 14 days after that appointment once they have set up the system for my sarcoma

This radiation will be for 5 days a week (M-F) for 5 weeks.

Then they will give my skin some time to heal up from the radiation treatment. This healing usually takes about 5 weeks, they also do more MRI’s and CT scans during that healing time.

After healing the surgery will be scheduled to remove the sarcoma. I may have follow up surgeries to reconstruct the leg. They are giving me “hints” that my mobility at the end of all this will be affected. Luckily I have a desk job

My best guess at a schedule is

March 1st – Meet the doctors
March 14th – April 15th – Radiation at Princess Margaret
April 16th – May 22nd – Healing the skin (and some more MRI, CT Scans)
Sometime around the week of May 23rd – May 27th – 1st surgery to remove sarcoma
Healing time after surgery
Then potential more reconstructive surgery for my leg & more healing time

I am very grateful to finally have a rough plan in place.

Thanks for all your support.
