Seven Down Already! (And 10 More To Go!)
Thanks to school being so crazzzy lately, it's been hard to find time to update! But I have already done 7 rounds of radiation and each have been uneventful - I hope it stays this way! My total number was finally decided on and I have to go for a total of 17 treatments. I go everyday, Mon-Fri. The radiation techs like to joke that they are "giving me the weekend off" when I go in on Fridays for a round haha. It's a bit of an inconvenience to go to the hospital everyday for these treatments, but they don't take long at all. The total time that I'm actually in the hospital is seriously 15 mins. I spend more time driving to the place than I do actually getting the treatment. So far I still feel pretty energetic and my skin seems to be handling the radiation well. It's interesting though, the skin on the front of my chest is slightly pink while the skin on my back actually looks tan. One of the nurses recommended to me that I put 100% aloe vera on my skin twice a day and this seems to help keep my skin looking and feeling good.
