Another Day, Another Dollarless

Weather was great here today, a little chilly but still 65.  Not much new.  Treatment #9 today so only 36 to go.  Been feeling kinda tired lately but am attributing it to all the f-ing exercise I have been getting.  Am going to go hiking tomorrow so may have a few more pics to post.  Treatment is not till 7:20pm.  Took a tour of the proton center on Sunday.  Quite impressive.  there are 3 gantry type & one staionary one.  The gantry's are where the beam thrower moves around the body & that way you can treat from any angle depending on the type of cancer being treated. All computerized & quite high tech.  I am being treated in the stationary one that is used for eye, brain, prostate as well as other types.  The gantry's weigh 90 tons & are 2 stories high.  The Synchrotron (accelerator) gets the proton energy up to as much as 250 million electron volts in  1/2 second.  Takes a bit of electricity to run the thing.  See my last picture of the process on the side here.  Still no side effects that I can tell except more shopping, excessive exercise, less drinking, & better eating habits.  Hope I can break the cycle of doom after I leave here!
