I'm 3 weeks into radiation now....half way.....I have 3 weeks to go. All is well. I've started to feel some of the affects.....the biggest of which is a rash (of sorts) on my chest. This is one of the symptoms my Dr. told me about. It's kind of like after a sunburn.....it itches, but not too badly. All in all, things are going well, and I should be finished in time for my motorcycle trip....yeeeha! I'm moving my daily appt. to 1:15 in the afternoon in hopes of spending less time there (I can use part of my lunch hour) and to avoid rush hour traffic. This means I'll have to leave work, get treated and go back to work, but that's alright. I'm running out of leave and this is a small price to pay to save leave. I can do anything for 3 weeks!
