Well, was suppose to start chemo and radiation today. The chemo has been pushed back until tomorrow. Seems the Chemo MD needs a certain xray that Dr. Sullivan's office has. Her office has been trying to get it from him, but Dr. Sullivan's nurse has quit, evidentally throwing his office into chaos. So I will begin the chemo tomorrow.
They went ahead and started the radiation treatments today though. Was completely painless, and took less then 10 minutes. Just layed face down on the table while they got me lined up with the all the lasers, and then turned the machine on. I could hear it buzz and feel a cool air blowing on me like someone blowing thru a straw, then it was over!
The only problem I am having is pain thru all my joints being inflammed. My MD explained that my auto immune sysytem is low from trying to fight the cancer, and therefore my joints are flaring up. I feel like a 100 year old with arthritis. My hands, knees, neck, shoulders, and feet hurt so bad. The hydrocodone only knocks out about 50% of the pain. I will be glad when this part is over!!
Well, will try again tomorrow to get this whole show on the road!!
