Day 6 of Radiation. (Becoming routine)
Today Tobi woke up happy at 7am!
Chose to wear his dinosaur tshirt and paw patrol hoody then jumped in the pram after gathering his day bag, ready to go.
Off out the door at 730am to see our lovely radio oncology team at Christchurch hospital.
Tobi was incredibly brave today, holding his own anesthetic mask. The mesh mask and breathing tube are applied for only about 10min while Tobi is under general anesthetic.
(The mesh mask is to prevent the patient moving during the procedure, but it also has marks on it so they line up the lazer lights with it to get the radiation in a particular spot every time. They also do an image before they apply the radiation.)
Treatment today went really well. Tobi even woke with a smile and was happy to give his buddy Tess a huge cuddle before going home.
