Almost at the top...

Tomorrow is the half-way point for this seven week period of chemotherapy and radiation and let's just say I am very relieved and excited. From tomorrow onwards, no matter how tough things may get, I will know that I've got less and less time to go each day. Another exciting bit of news that I was reminded of today: Radiation Oncology is closed for Memorial Day! Don't get me wrong, these people are very very friendly and efficient...but three whole days with no radiation being hurled at my brain...sounds like a heaven at this point. My final half of temodar (for now, hopefully) arrived yesterday and tonight marks the beginning of those. I also had a friend take me to the drug store to pick up refills of my Dilantin (anti-seizure) and Valium (for use when having an MRI or spending long periods of time in "the mask." The techs at radiation today also scheduled a CT scan for Thursday to begin planning the boost phase of radiation. In other news, today was the hottest day of the year so far and as I've mentioned before, chemo/radiation and heat are definitely the recipe for nausea.

One last thing...if anyone out there is reading this blog, please feel free to add comments, share your experiences, or even to "follow" it. Thanks!!
