Friday was my last brain radiation treatment. I'm so happy not to have to be at the hospital at 6AM! At the end of the session my tech ceremoniously presented me with my MASK to take home as a souvenir! They can't kid me - its the hospitals way of getting rid of it without creating more garbage. Think I'll stick some flowers in it and hang it on the wall -NOT!!! Although it does make a good conversation piece.
After the session back to Nurse Maria who suddenly lost her attitude. While she was taking down some info she says "do you work here"? My reply, "No, but I have many friends who are Doctors on staff". Hmmmmmmm......... As she was finishing she spots my Doctor walking down the hall and yells out "Don't go too far, I'm almost done". Record time I was in and out!
Solidifies - It's not what you know but WHO you know!!!!
All and all feeling pretty good. Spent the weekend resting and trying to keep my feet up. Still having problems will ankle and foot swelling. Also feeling a lot of twinges in the area the cancer is so I'm not sure to worry or if it's the chemo. Steroids are taking there toll on my face and I look like a cave women with round face and bloated features. I hate looking in the mirror!!!
Tomorrow thanks to sister-in-law Cindy and friend Dr. Lisa Abrams I'll start my Tuesday morning blood test at 7:30 in Deerfield to save having to be at the hospital 2 hours early on Wednesday (more time to work). Wednesday starts full chemo regiment which makes me happy. Please send me positive energy on Wednesday afternoon that this duo treatment of Hercepton and Taxol is the cocktail I need to melt this cancer away!
Otherwise I feel fine, working full days and resting on weekends and evenings.
More later in the week. Love you all!
