      Well I really like my radiation onc doc. He is very optimistic. He thinks my walking issue has to do with the tumors in my hip where the bone and socket meet. He thinks if he radiates that ball and socket area it should go a long way with helping me walk good again. I mentioned the tumor in my knee my med onc doc talked about. He double checked and said there is a small tumor there so he will take care of it too.

      He also mentioned there are some things going on with my lower spine that might be pressing on nerves but he wants to try the other first. He also did the same leg, feet, arm, hand test they kept doing over and over last winter when I was almost paralyzed so he doesn't believe it is an issue with my spinal cord or spine tumors so that is a huge relief.

      There will be 10 zaps. He thinks I should start walking better after the 3rd zap. I hope so. I get scanned and targeted tomorrow with Thursday as the tentative date for the first zap but they aren't sure yet.

                            Artie, when I was first diagnosed, I had little use of my lower left arm as a result of a bone met (I had no idea that there was such a thing–thought I was carrying my daughter incorrectly).  After "10 zaps" and the passage of a few weeks, I had full use of my arm with little pain.  Good luck.
