Radiation number 2
This morning I had radiation #2. It goes quickly. The time the machine is actually on is only about 2 minutes.
The bad news is that I am going to lose my hair for the third time. At the end of the two weeks of radiation my hair will start to fall out in clumps and I will be bald in 2 days. Back to bandanas and hats for another few months. That is a bit depressing. I have a wedding to attend July 30th and I was looking forward to having my first hair appointment for a stylish trim and hightlights but instead I will be dusting off my wig again. But I know my hair will grow back. That is a small price to pay in returning for zapping this tumor.
The last 2 days have been very very hard. The doctor suggests only looking 2 weeks in the future but it is hard not to want to get my affairs in order. As my brain can only be exposed to so much radiation I have only maybe 1 or 2 shots at removing the tumor or shinking it enough to make a diffrenece. If some tumor remains I may not be able to treat it again.
Jessica knows that I am having my head x-rayed and that my ahir will fall out again. She says that that is too bad because my new hair is so soft. I have put away my expensive shampoo and will pull it out again in about a month when I have something to shampoo.
That's all for now because my fingers are not typing what I want them too and I am having to spend a lot of time correcting mistakes. I will try to write earlier tomorrow.
