Radiation treatment

Hi everyone, wears heading to IU med for a radiation treatment. It is supposed to a couple of hours today, not exactly sure, I think they are getting me equipment or software... We all know what that means, I'll be there a lot longer or maybe I will have supernatural powers Afterwards.

Yesterday was long, Jackie, Jake, and I shopped for some household stuff before treatment, I was tired the rest of the day. I think the radiation makes me have flu like symptoms, so last night I was a little on edge about the possibility of getting the flu on top of every thing else and it kind of scared me. My glue was also ready to come off my incision for putting in the port (which is a very delicate vein) so you know there was the worry of it popping off and me bleeding to death...I'm a tax over dramatic. Any way, I took a sleeping aid and didn't wake all night.

Friday my radiation starts at 10am and I get the iron infusion at 10:30. That will take 6 hours. Another long day. We have discussed me just staying at Jane's since treatment on Saturday will likely be early, also.

Right now I think my treatments will be close to 2 in the afternoon and as
Morning slots open, my schedule may change. Keep praying for my family, rick not only is dealing with me and my illness, but his dad's health continues to diminish and everyone is worried about him.

Thanks for all the food and offer, we will keep you all updated. J

  4. Wow my lack of technology worked...This is Jody Burns. I just want to say that I have asked so many people about you and have kept you in my thoughts and prayers. If you don't remember I was diagnosed with Melanoma Skin cancer a couple of years ago so I remember all to well what it feels like when they tell you the news. I also remember what it feels like waiting for the answers. I was at a stage 1A so they were able to just cut mine out. I am so happy to hear that you are in good spirits. I can't say that I was!!! Yes..me the stong person turned to a crying mush ball. It was terrible. When it was finally over I remember telling my kids..."this shit is going to stop...MOMMY is back." They were happy yet sad at the same time because they knew that they couldn't run amuck any more. I was very luck to have Leslie to lean on and it sounds like you have the same. I will be keeping up on your blogs. If there is anything that I can do please let me know. Even if it is just to cry or cuss at I can do that with the best of them. After you get through this experience you will look back and realize that it has made you a sronger person. I believe that God has a plan for everyone and we will figure it out some day but I can tell you one thing...I sure as hell don't go outside without my SPF 30 on now!!!!

  6. Judi One of the benefits of living in a small town is not that everybody knows your business (although they do - they heard it at the co-op:) Its really that we all care! You keep fighting and we will keep praying! Hang in there Lisa Zarse & Family
