August 26, 2008 - Radiation Day (...Or Not)

I had an appointment for my first radiation treatment today. After it was all over with, the tech told me that tomorrow it will be real. I guess this was just a trial run to make sure the simulation was properly set up. Hmmmmm.... OK.

Tomorrow I get zapped for real.

As I laid on the radiation table this morning, I got teary-eyed. I couldn't figure out why, at first. I think I'm just overwhelmed with this entire experience. It's such a long process, and I just want it to be over. I think I just realized that I still have nearly 7 weeks to go before I will see the end of it all.

I need a boost. I think I'll feel better once my hair starts coming back. I think I see some peach fuzz. I'm kind of tired of being bald, and I don't like what I see when I look in the mirror. My awesome husband took me to lunch today to cheer me up. I felt much better until I heard from a family member in need of something. I had to give some tough love, and I'm never any good at that. Now I have guilt.

Looking forward to a happier tomorrow!

Sandy Girl, it's OK to a have a
teary eyed moment. You have been so strong and now you are almost done. One last leg of this journey to finish and you will stay strong.
In my quiet moments I get tears just thinking of all you have gone through. There now you know!
We are all in this together and
each day is new and God will give you a good day today, I am sure of it. You are a beautiful woman,
my best friend. Wow!! I am Lucky.
Can't wait to see what your new hair will be like!!

Love Always,
Your Bud,
Brandy
