This is the end of week number 4. I had lost about 60% of my hair from the radiation. So I shaved the rest off. I tell you this big chrome dome is cooler for the summer. I guess I just got to sexy for my hair (stolen quote). Some headaches also, not to much else to report medically.
Personal life is still floating at an 11 (out of 10).

This is the end of week number 3 (I have a total of 6 1/2 weeks of treatment). Friday's are a lot better than Monday's. It's kind of like work on Friday you are like good the week is over, but on Monday it's just beginning and hanging in front of you. Generally the side effects are starting to kick in. I get tired, I get headaches, my hair is thining where they are treating me. The good news is they are hitting me where they want to. It is an interesting time to see what happens next. The doctor's and radiologists are really nice though. So throughout the day you have times where you feel fine and others when you don't (yeah it might sound like your life too, but do you have a 6 inch scar on your head to brag about?)

I just started week number 2, like staring at a pot of boiling water, if I keep counting the days I will never be done. Everyone at the doctors office is real nice, it's the 5 day a week thing, and that I can't drive myself so this week my father is away and Heather is working an earlier shift in order to take me. We picked our location and date for our wedding this past weekend, we are super excited. Well no real complaints yet on the treatment I will forward them as they come.

3rd treatment done, and 30 more to go! My dad has an asst landscasper that picks his weeds - me, gotta earn my rides. I go see my neuro oncologist tomorrew (Thursday). All I can tell people with kids is I can raise great dogs and 2 dogs are perfect. They keep each other company. But when you add that third one, one of them is always gonna screw up the walk and tangle you and the leashes. My point here is that is the closest that I can relate to my sister having 3 kids. I miss my house. Not much else to reprt just checking in.

I did my first radiation treatment yesterday. You don't feel a thing it's like a 15 minute x-ray. They say in 2-3 weeks you tend to get tired by the end of the week. I have to do this for 6 1/2 weeks. I feel like I have done it for a while already, it took so long to find a doctor I liked. My right arm has been weaker again. We still hunted halls for the wedding, we are down to 2 which we are taking her parents to this weekend and once we have the hall, and the date and time we can book other things. We just wish we had some free time. Oh and I lost on the dj there will be one. My sister had her first boy this morning at 3 am ( 3rd child ). Not much else to report right now.
