Just to let everyone know today I finished my last radiation treatment. When I heard the original number 39 I thought, my God I can't due that. Then, I thought "one day at a time" that is the only way to get through this trip.
I stopped working this past Monday and I plan to take the next three weeks off on sick time.
I am SO much more tired than I was last week, I can't believe the difference. I am sleeping whenever I feel tired, so I am not awake too often. I am still eating around 1800 calories a day by mouth daily and drinking a lot of water. I have lost a total of 30 lbs so far.
I am on fental pain pouch, 75mg I think, and also vicidon liquid every four hours for pain.
When my treatment was over today the team gave me my mask to take with me along with a "diploma of graduation". The rad Dr said I was her "Poster Child" and I was lucky to have done as well as I have. I told her it was due to all the people praying to God for me and the support of my wife, family and for the support I get from this cite.
I am going to take nap number 3 for the day but before I go I once again want to take the time to thank all on this cite who have given me support and in any way contribute. It was SO nice to know what to expect with each new week, what problems to expect and what to do to deal with them. I depended on this cite a lot during my treatment and I will continue to post in the future. My next Dr appointment is for the end of July.
God bless anyone who is in any way associated with this horible monster Cancer. Some day a cure will be found "You gotta believe".
