I’m halfway thru my radiation. Everyone from the doctor I saw today to the techs are very impressed with how well I’m doing. I’m just starting to turn red. Radiation treatment can be much like getting a really bad sunburn. They expected me to have blisters by now. Personally I’d prefer to get a sunburn from the actual sun instead of radiation. As long as I keep up with the lotion and saline cold packs, maybe I’ll be ok. Apparently the fatigue will really kick in over the rest of the radiation. I’m almost getting used to being tired all the time 😦
I felt alert enough and the weather was good enough that I went into work today to visit. It always feels good to go there. I so can’t wait to get back to work, even if it’s only a little bit at a time.
I got my prescriptions from the doc today for the prosthetics and mastectomy bra. I wasn’t prepared for them to be as expensive as they are. I haven’t met my deductible with Pharmacare yet and my insurance will cover about a third of the final cost. I guess I gotta increase my ‘clothing’ budget every year now. I go for a ‘fitting’ Saturday and the woman sounds really nice who’s going to be helping me. I’m gonna have boobs again! Or should I say foobs?
