We are adjusting well to this new routine of daily radiation. I’m enjoying getting to know my technicians well and have met a few ladies in the waiting room this week. So far no side effects and I’m feeling really good. I even have sore muscles from working out! AND it’s a 3 day weekend – no radiation on Monday because of the holiday!! Yay!!!
On Monday when I met with the Dr. he said to expect side effects to start after 10 treatments. I’ve heard from others to expect them about half way through. Who knows when and if they will appear, but so far this “honeymoon period” as the Dr. called it, is fine. It’s nice to not be in pain (except for the sore muscles from exercising. It’s nice to not have any fatigue, only a tired body from going to the lake and riding bikes with the girls. 🙂
I met with my OB on Monday before radiation as a follow up from having my ovaries out. She gave me the pathology report which showed no signs of cancer. We didn’t think there was any there, but it’s nice to know for sure!
This is the waiting room, complete with warming cabinet for the robe I have to change into each day.
My view during part of radiation. Fun…
We were heading up to the Seattle Center on Thursday, so the girls came with me. Our oldest came in to see the machine and meet my technicians.
One of the ladies I met in the waiting room is also going through chemo and just started losing her hair. I brought her a couple hats I loved. This one is too hot for the summer, so I kept it and just took a picture to remember the day.
Praying for a good holiday making memories with your family & friends. Praise that you are feeling good & enjoying the summer. Thank you for posting updates. You have been such an inspiration to me & so many others going thru tough times. I luv your short hair. You are such a beautiful young lady! Sending love & hugs your way, Lisa
So happy you are feeling better. All I can say is you are one strong lady. We will keep praying for you as always. We must keep out faith strong. God bless you, Tom and the girls.
