We met with the radiation oncologist today, and there's good news:  he is able to radiate both the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava at an angle that should cause no side effects other than the typical tender skin (like sunburn) that goes with treatments.  This means that if the treatment is sucessful as expected, it will result in reduced swelling in Lisa's arm and both legs, which are her main source of pain, discomfort and difficulty walking.  Lisa would go to the treatment center each weekday morning for 10 to 15 treatments total, depending on how she's doing.

Lisa's not feeling well, so we'll go to the cancer center again this afternoon for her usual pain and steroid meds via infusion.
