Week Three Done - Halfway There!
This week marks about the halfway point in my treatment plan, and I’m so glad to be moving toward the finish line.
Got my Tesla windows tinted on Monday, which will make the daily drive much more comfortable. I also brought cookies for the radiation team - half sprinkles, half chocolate chip - as a thank you for their kindness. Thinking of making it a little tradition.
On Tuesday, my husband came along for the first time, saw how they position me on the machine, and got an open invitation from the doctor to watch a full session sometime. She prescribed Silvadene for a light rash under my breast, just to be safe. I also met a counselor at CSNF who’s there if I need support.
Dental news I did not want: tooth #14 has a broken root and must be pulled, and tooth #15 needs a root canal retreat. I’m crushed to be facing this while still in treatment, especially with my oophorectomy still ahead.
Stopped at Quest Diagnostics for bloodwork on Friday. It was awkward because the tech acted like he couldn’t do both orders in one visit, but he finally did. The labs are for my endocrinologist and pre-op planning.
Halfway Celebration
I’ve finished 15 of 33 sessions. Technically halfway will be after 16.5, but I’m calling it now - this is my halfway win! So far, radiation has gone smooth and uneventful. Praying it keeps going like this!
