10 of 25

Today was my 10th radiation treatment. They are going smoothly and on time. The area that they are radiating is starting to look a bit tanned. A pinky tan colour. The doctor has changed my skin care from applying baby powder to applying Glaxal base cream. I need to put it on 3 times a day. It is to keep the area from drying out.

I am also starting to get tired. I have productive mornings and then the afternoons slow down and I am usually ready for bed about the same time we put Jessica to bed. But that is a pretty minor side effect.

All the chemo side effets are gone. My nails are back to normal but I have 3 that are a funny color and I don't know if I will lose them or not. But they don't hurt. My hair is definitley growing back. That makes me happy.

I didn't get any odd changes after getting my Zoladex shot - at least not yet. The Effexor is working well on the hot flashes. I still get a half dozen or so a day but they are not as intense.

That is as things stand. I hope everyone has a really nice weekend. I hope to restore some of my energy levels before next week.
