what is this blog about?

On June 18th 2010, Katrina went in to have an MRI done so the doctors could try to figure out why she was getting dizzy. What they found was a medulloblastoma (Brain Cancer) tumor between her fourth ventricle and cerebellum.

This blog is a journal for Her, and Her Husband, Scott, as they face this together.

Outpatient Rehab?

Now that we're home the next and most vital step is of course the radiation to kill off the cancer. But, there is also the question of outpatient rehab. The doctor wrote us some "Prescriptions" so that we could seek some outpatient therapy.  They also had the therapists print out there notes and gave us a copy of her medical records to take with us to wherever we would find rehab. The other thing they did was give me lists of things that I can work with her at home on. I guess that it is really a question of what she feels like she needs to get to where she can accomplish her two goals; return to work and take care of her babies.

My concern is trying to tackle both radiation and therapy at the same time.  Does anyone have any experience with this? It seems to me she'll be pretty tired and sick form the radiation especially since they have to do her whole head and spine. I'd hate to push her or let her push herself too hard on top of all that.
