Radiation: Day 1
It’s amazing how one’s weight is so closely tied to one’s appetite. I got my appetite back last week and I was able to put on 7lbs. As a result, I was less dizzy. I still have trouble focusing, though. Often times, I find myself just staring out into space and I am still walking slowly.
Today was my first day of radiation therapy. They are shooting high dose radiation straight into the tumor with the hopes of shrinking the tumor. It turns out I need 3 treatments so I’m schedule for my 2nd and 3rd treatments for this Wednesday and Friday. The treatment today left me fatigued and slightly nauseous, both of which are possible side effects. Next time, I am going to take some anti-nausea meds before going to stem that off earlier.
Well, that’s about it. Nothing earth shattering. More later.
