Well folks, tomorrow is THE day that I start my radiation, almost at the home stretch of my treatments. :) It will be the start of my daily treatments (Mondays to Fridays) for four straight weeks. My first one will be tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. Twenty (or 21) treatments in all.
I'm going to face this challenge with an open mind. I'm relaxed and not as scared as I was with chemo. Like with all treatments, each person might react differently to radiation. Some said they were completely fine with it and got to carry on with their lives. Others said fatigue was too much. So we will see how it will "hit me".
Honestly, I am still feeling some side effects from my last chemo. My calves are still achy and swollen. Half of my fingernails/toenails are discoloured. And I still get very tired easily. I can't wait until the chemo is completely out of my system.
I am still praying that the cancer has not spread to any parts of my body. No tests have been done yet if chemo did its job of getting rid of the cancer or not. I don't know when will it be. Hopefully Dr. K will shed some light on this when we see him on June 18th.
