Last Radiation Appointment - YAY

It was my last radiation appointment yesterday which was a relief. I cannot believe that it has been 30 times. I had a standing ovation from my fellow waiting room friends which was bitter sweet. I also got to hug the rather attractive techs that have I been dealing with and take my mask home:)

I had the meeting with the Dr. after. He said that he though he thinks he are going well ,he reminded me that I will never return to how I was before the surgery. Everything they had to remove would not come back. I know that, but it was hard to be reminded of. I think that I am going to choose ignore him on this one. He then reminded that I have also ignored him on a few things like jogging in the dark. I think that he was joking. When else would I have time to do it?? He wants to hear from me immediately if I feel things are up and then an MRI will be scheduled.

I woke up last night in a panic thinking that I hadn't taken the chemo, then I remembered that it stops the last day before radiation. Maybe the Doc. is right:)

Today is going to be another long day.  The Chemo lady now takes over and that is the first appointment. She will again lower the decadron dose today as she wants me off ASAP. She and will also schedule the MRIs from here. I found out that the high dose a Temador will most likely start after the first MRI in the New Year.

Next my Avastin infusion which is easy. Next Ot and speech therapy ( 2.5 hours back to back) which is hard work but the results are worth it.

Maybe  an hour to relax then we are going to the Holiday Lights at the local train park.
