Wow! It's Friday Already!

Well, this week certainly flew by!  I didn't realize I hadn't posted since Monday.  It has been a busy week although I'm not quite sure what I all did other than travel to the clinic and back again.  Also spent a lot of time with the boys....I am getting even better at reading stories and having Garrett fall asleep before I am finished...hmmm is that a good thing or a bad thing?  Good actually-bedtime is a struggle.

But as for the treatments....they are still quick and I am getting to know the radiaiton therapists on a first name basis.  It becomes pretty ritual....so much that the other day, I checked in, they handed me my pager and I went to sit down.  I suddenly realized that I had no idea where my pager was after only less than the time it took to grab it and go find a place to sit down.  So I went back up to the desk and sheepishly explained I had no idea where my pager was.  So the receptionist called it and I had already tossed in in the basket on the desk....which is what you do after they call you on the way back to treatment not after they hand it to you.  But I finished the 9th treatment today.  As of next Monday, I will be half done!!!  Yay!!  I saw the radiation oncologist yesterday (Thursday) and she was pleased that my skin was not showing signs of breaking down yet.  She told me to keep the Vanicream slathered on....so I guess I will.  I am not feeling too tired yet and I think what tiredness I am feeling is really lack of sleep since I am sharing a room with Nathan and he doesn't necessarily sleep through the night.  But that is about to be remedied as I got a room over at the Hope Lodge and will be over there starting Sunday night.  So a continuous nights sleep will probably feel amazing. 

I continue to feel very blessed that things have gone so well.  I sometimes feel like I really don't have cancer at all but I guess I do and at some point, my experience will benefit someone in some way.  Never quite sure, but God always has a plan and it becomes evident down the road.  So until later.....hugs to all.  Love, Patsy
