The procedure took one hour. 10 minutes for prep and administration of anesthesia, 5 minutes to radiate the area, and then another 45 minutes for recovery.
The radiation therapist marked Stella's arm for their radiation field. Other than not washing those marks off there were no other discharge instructions. We were told Stella could resume her normal activity and that she should not have any side effects whatsoever at this early stage.
Stella ran out into the waiting room as if nothing happened and could not wait to get back into the car - to go home and eat! She has been her normal self all day and night.
Treatment #2 and full day of boarding tomorrow...
