The Treatment Plan

For the cancer I've got there is a specific treatment plan. I do this and the odds are 90% I will never see this cancer again. Here's what will take place:
Radiation: There will be approximately 33 radiation treatments aimed at my pelvic area. They began July 5 and will conclude at approximately August 18th.
Reaction: First third: No issues. Second third: Discomfort. Final third: Increasing discomfort, culminating in 'brutal'.
Chemotherapy: There will be two courses of treatment. The first was started on July 5. The second will begin August 1st.
Reaction: First course produced nasty mouth sores, an overall sludgey feeling and 'chemo brain'. At least I know what to expect for the second course, and can make some plans.

I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Weekend

Weekend means two days off from radiation.
Saturday means the chemo drip is done and I turn in the pump.
Saturday means opening game of the District 4 Majors All Star tourney. (4:00, Alpenrose Main).


Now means tired. came home and slept 4 hours. I think that's a reaction to the radiation.

It is now time to sleep some more.

Thanks for your kind thoughts and prayers. G'nite.
