One Week of Radiation Done

I made it through the first week of radiation with only minor discomfort. I am experiencing some lethargy and sharp needle like pains in the radiated areas. I was told this would get worse over time - lucky me All I want to do is lay down in the afternoon. However, this is soooo much better than chemotherapy.

All told the experience is not too bad. The staff is very nice at this hospital facility. I do find the machines they use for radiation a bit intimidating. They are very large and make lots of noises. The radiation treatment is over in about 5 minutes, but the drive to and from there and the wait time adds an additional 3 hours.

Now to my nap.
