Two Weeks Down - Five To Go

So far so good. I am having some redness and soreness in in the radiated site, but really can not complain. Currently, the daily day drive is more of a pain - one hour each way. The treatment only takes 15 minutes (it takes longer dress and undress), but they are always running late. The children had no school on Friday and no school Monday and Tuesday this week. I have visions of them running up and down the hallway and knocking over the old people on their walkers (the kids were very well behaved on Friday) OK my biases are coming out, but so far there are very few young radiation oncology patients. I have had several grandmotherly types adopt me and am getting regular knitting and cooking lessons while I wait. Hey, it helps pass the time.

Not looking forward to this week, but know it will mean one more week down.

    Cheryl -
    Although I know five weeks seems like a long time, you have already come so far. It's two weeks of radiation, but much more than that of total treatment time. You're in the home stretch, now, so just hang in there. All your hard work will pay off when all your treatment is completed, you're cancer free, and you recover your strength and stamina so you can be back to the high-energy Cheryl we all know and love.
    My prayers are with you, sweetie!
    Laura
