Hey everyone, hope all is well. Just a little update. I went in for my CTscan yesterday and they fitted me for my face mask that holds my face down to the table during radiation therapy. Today was the 1st of 15 'nuke jobs'. It is completely different from chemo. Chemo is an ardous long process taking hours. With radiation, once they have you down on the table, it literally takes minutes. They said expect to be in and out in 10 minutes. My treatments start at 2:15 everyday for the next few weeks. The nurse said my hair should begin to fall out after the 10th treatment and completely go. So be ready for the bald look again!!

I could have mild headaches, fatigue, and nausea...nothing new here. The nurse said to listen to my body and if tells me its tired or sick, to listen to it and 'shutter down'. Once they have fired up the microwave there is some buzzing and some bright lights flashing but you cant open your eyes and its over in a flash. I feel great!! I feel stronger everyday and expect to be cancer free in NO time!!
This weekend my parents and I are meeting bro Dan in Joshua Tree for a few days of camping and I'm really lookin forward to it. When we get back Monday I'm gonna take Mom to R.T. and have her snap some pictures so we can have them up on the blog next week! So, everyone have a great weekend and we'll blog at ya next week!
Peace, Shelly
