Last day of my 3weeks of radiation!
I have been really tired, sleeping, a doing a lot of cooking and eating trying to keep my weight up. That is one perk, I love to eat. Effects from the treatments have been fatigue, some headaches, and burns on the skin, not too bad, but they do tell me the effects get worse after the treatment is over, hopefully not. The effects of the Chemo pill I am on every day are not too bad, pimples and rash all over my face, small price to pay for it to be working.
Hair today, gone tomorrow
I look at it as becoming GI Jane preparing for battle!!
