Well, Hello dear readers quick update. I have made it through the first week of radiation treatments. 9 down 16 more to go!!! I get treatments 5 days a week for 5 weeks and I meet with the Doctor on Thursdays. First thing I do when I get there I go into a little room in which I change into the gown. Then I am led to the radiation room and I lay down on the table.The first step is called simulation. The technicians make sure I am lined up correctly and then the machine comes in towards the front. The worst part of the procedure is lying down with both arms over my head. My arms are still a bit stiff and the procedure takes 15 minutes. Aside from that, the sessions are simply boring. Nothing much is visible, and I keep perfectly still while the machine rotates around me.
I'm starting Second week of treatment, My skin remains to be without any signs of burning or soreness and sometimes I can feel the heat radiating from my chest other than that I don't have any other side effects to speak of. I have more energy than the first week. All in all It has been a very good week/end !
