It's over!

My radio treatment is officially over and I'm enjoying day 1 for the 5-yr count. Think this is all His plan 'cos today's my birthday too. What a nice birthday present :-)

The last 5 boosters were targeting the ellipse where my scar is. Just one beam, compared to 2 for the previous 25 times, so each session is much shorter.

25 days

I've reached the 25 days mark. Next 5 will be boosters. I'm partially sunburnt. Don't really know how to describe 'cos I've not been sunburnt before. I turn red like a crab but don't peel. Am something like that now. Thank God it doesn't hurt :-)
I wonder how long it'll stay this way. Interestingly (to me at least), the sunburnt part is exactly within the marks that have been marked out on me.
Will post more soon. Have been spending lots of time with my kids and really enjoying this time. Thank God for opportunities!
Oh ya, in case I forget, I'll blog about the support group's 2nd meeting. Really fun :-) Thank God for support groups and for nurses who go the extra miles.

Tiredness

This fatigue thing creeps up on me often but I guess, in a way, this side effect is more manageable than dizziness. So I sleep on the way home, sleep when I get home, sleep whenever I feel so extremely tired. Some days I sleep for 3-4 hours in the afternoon, till the kids wake me up for dinner. Some days I get by without. It comes and it goes.
That was last week.
This week, for the first 2 days the fatigue bug was away. I was quite happy, being able to spend time with kids and do some long-overdue spring-cleaning (ya, after Chinese New Year). This afternoon, I knocked out after lunch, on a full tummy. Sleeping despite the din the kids were making, despite the warmth of the afternoon. Till the insurance agent woke me up.
I'm meeting KH tomorrow for lunch. She started radio on 29Jan.
