Of Course

I thought I was going to be done with radiation the Monday after Thanksgiving but of course, there's a catch. I will be done with the main radiation treatments. There are seven more called "the boost". Why cancer treatments get catchy titles, I don't know. I can tell you others if you ask.

Essentially, I will get seven rounds in a more local area on my body. It's not even regarded as a lot of radiation; supplemental even. I think that's why it got overlooked in communicating to me. For me however, it means seven additional days to haul downtown, seven days of running out the door earlier than I'd like from work, seven days to pay for parking, three days to pay for the additional help of picking up the boys, and seven more days of being separated from the boys for extra time. It truly sucks. There. I'm done with that.

This has added more stress to my life than I'd anticipated but....I'm feeling physically good. I'm tired today but I'm chalking that up to stress, work and schedule.

I'll be done December 4 unless I screwed up again. Well, actually Northwestern missed the communication with me. Did I mention that?

This will soon be behind us.

I'm getting hair! I'm not sure what's going on with the color! It looks darker. There's always an option for Clairol down the road, right?

Happy Thanksgiving. Mine will be good. I hope the same for anyone reading this.
