October 23 update

I realized I never sent out any updates after meeting with the radiology oncologist on the 13th, meeting was good. I have 4 weeks of radiation treatments (yay, it’s not 6!). There was an appointment to set up my position with a molded piece to hold my head & arms and get cat scans and then a dry run where they took images (x-rays, I think) to make sure all was good.

Actual radiation treatment started yesterday and went smoothly, just like the practice run.

So, daily treatment now through Nov 18th. I have weekly check ins with the nurse on Mondays and the doctor on Wednesdays for any questions or concerns.

Still dealing with some neuropathy in my feet from chemo, it sounds like it could take some time to clear up completely. My thin fuzzy hair is still the same just a little longer, it feels like I might be getting some new growth but I can’t actually see any yet. The radiology oncologist doctor did say it could take a couple of months …sigh… patience is not much fun. However, my nails have grown and I actually have long nails of my own for the first time in forever, so that’s exciting.
