Sorry for not writing sooner but didn't want to bore you with a lot of dribble.

Radiation yesterday went well despite being there at 5:45AM, Did find out that "technically" the doctor does have to sign off on you once a week. Since my Doctor is on vacation this week another Doctor was sent in her place. Surprise, Surprise.....he showed up approx 3 minutes after I entered the room (word must have gotten around).

Today was chemo day. Won't bore you with the hours wasted just waiting. Treatment went well although I'm still only getting one of the chemo's until radiation is complete. (Thanks Emily for the great kitty pictures you emailed me to keep me smiling).

I did stop by to see my Doctor. I've been a little concerned this week and wanted to get her input. When I first was told about the less ions in the spine and liver a light went off - So that's what that is - not a pull! After the first full treatment I experienced a lot of activity in the areas and then nothing ( feeling great). After last weeks treatment I felt nothing (but still feeling great). Yesterday all of a sudden I am feeling the same old aches again in those areas and am concerned that since I'm only get part of the treatments that I'm going backwards instead of froward. She seems to think (I'm nuts - no not really) that if may have something to do with the steroids (they are starting to ween me down due to my insistence and not wanting to end up America's Most Wanted) and taking care of the brain lesion is number one priority. Kind of what I expected but wanted a warm fuzzy. So I put in in the back of my mind and continue to go fore ward.

Funny side note - There's a nurse practitioner who I talked to before the Doctor who does a pre-screen. I have talked to her before and she thinks I should talk to their Psychologist so I don't bottle everything inside. WHAT - is she NUTS. Am I the type to go see a shrink???? Just another day at the hospital.

Next adventure Friday and Radiation.

Thanks for letting me share. Love you all.
