update d-day +2
well gang i must say the guy wasnt scared at all but im still doing number twos tha ball has started rolling allready ,im just waiting for a letter to go in and get my mask sorted ,then its an MRI and a CAT scan so they can pin point the exact spot to hit .He said there wont be any major side affect no sickness,no loss of hair (what hair im bald rotflmao)no sun intolerance ,no skin irritation ,now here comes the (but ) they said theres a slim like 1% chance of damaging the major part of the optic nerve and go blind , but he did say an extreme slim chance because of the technology these days is miles ahead of the way it use to be done .I asked about damage to the caroted artery he said no there going right through it so they are going to hit that part as well not just whats on the pituatary gland .He did say that my endo docs will have to monitor my pit function to make sure it doesnt get damaged and and my levels dont drop to low .One good thing about the treatment it can be done after work it goes for 7 weeks straight and only takes a few minutes THATS THE NEWS FOR NOW IM DUCKMAN AND YOUR NOT
