Timing just doesn't quite work

So, my radiologist said that she thought they would be ready to start my treatment next week.  Yay!!  Finally!!

But, alas, it isn't going to work.  Although they will probably will be ready, they can't say for sure. The problem is that the chemo is supposed to start two days before the radiation (as it increases the effectiveness of the radiation).  But, they really need the radiologist to give a date certain. If they promised they could be ready by Thursday, then I could have my chemo on Tuesday.  But, no promise was forthcoming.  And they won't start radiation on a Friday.  And they don't do chemo infusions on a Monday.

Therefore, treatment will probably start the week after next.  Chemo will most likely be on Tuesday, May 3rd; Thursday, radiation will begin.  Therefore, if all goes well, I should be done on June 23rd.

A little frustrating, but what can I do?  The absolute worst thing for me—yes, this really is the worst thing—is that I don't know if I will be up for seeing Wagner's Ring cycle in SF, which I have looked forward to for many years.  I always do standing room, but one can actually sit down (though without seeing the stage.)  I'm gonna try!  But, thank you Lisa for the Siegfried dress rehearsal tickets—that will help!  And, the HD Met performance of Walküre on May 14th will help, too.  At least we will get to see Ziggy's namesake, Sieglinde, on the big screen.  (Yes, we know that it should be spelled more like Siegy—and, Jean, keep spelling it that way—but then people would say Cig-gy and we couldn't stand that.)
