I Wonder About Radiation Therapy

I met my medical oncologist the other day; I like him. He is passing me on to the radiation oncologist for the radiation therapy part of my treatment. Five days a week for 5 weeks, that sounds pretty intense to me. I hate to sound like a big baby but I am afraid. I know too well what sunburn feels like and I cannot go out without a bra and those are the least of my fears. I will see my medical oncologist again in 6 weeks. Radiation therapy will not begin for another week or two.

The lasagna dinner for the kids came off nicely. They all said it was good and they seemed to enjoy themselves. They watched Brother Where Art Thou, I know, they never cease to amaze. You just don't know what they are likely to choose.

I am very excited about Lee Child's new Reacher book coming out next Tuesday. It sure is starting off on the right track, I read the first few chapters on line and I am hooked. I probably won't buy the book until Wednesday, I have a doctor appointment then and I can't see using the extra gas to make the trip just to have the book one day sooner (though I would love to).

So, on Wednesday I will find out precisely when radiation therapy begins and I hope – get a few answers to some of my concerns…

There is always hope.
