Hey there everyone. Sorry I've been slacking but when I tell you about my normal day I hope you will understand why.
Well as I said before I have started radiation. Actually, I'm halfway done with it! So what is radiation you may ask, how does it make you feel you may ask. Well, radiation is like a really strong x-ray aimed at the place where the tumor was. It is meant to kill any radical cells and make sure all cancer is gone! Side effects are minimal, the rays tend to "burn" the skin somewhat like extreme sunburn. I apply aloe gel and Aquaphor to the site and so far I haven't had any blisters or bad reactions. The site gets a little sore sometimes but all in all it's okay. The bad part is that I go to radiation EVERYDAY! Monday thru Friday so I work all day, drive to radiation which takes about 30 minutes, then my session usually last about 15 mins, then back in rush hour traffic back home. So by the time I get home I'm bushed!
Otherwise I'm doing great. I have found a support group and it's a really good thing. I love it!
So needless to say, things are going well and I will do my best to update this blog at least weekly. If I could access it from work, I would update more often but I can't....IT'S RESTRICTED!!!! Oh well, I will do better I promise!
Thanks again for all your support and prayers!
