Well I'm knocking on wood as I type, but so far I'm nausea free! I've slept a lot today, as I'm exhausted, but other than that all is well. I'm just hoping the nausea doesn't show up later in the week once the meds they gave me before chemo wear off. I'd rather feel crappy during the week than on the weekends. But as they said this is all a trial and error thing, and I'm sure we'll have it figured out once I'm on my last treatment! :)
Radiation went smooth as always today, and my marks have been on for over a week now. SO...big day...I got my tattoo's! In all actuality these are very small little dots, and nothing that special! I am amazed everyday by my radiation treatment. I don't feel anything, I don't see anything, I just lay on this table and this thing swings around me and makes some noises. It's hard to believe that this is what is curing my cancer. BUT...I guess these people know what they are doing! :)
Well I guess that's all for today! Nothing too exciting, but that's ok sometimes!

ReplyDeleteMeighan: Just wanted to share with you a cute poem that I found on the internet and hung on my refridgerator while taking radiation last winter. I think it helped me.
