So treatment finally started this week, with chemo on Tuesday morning for 3 hours, followed by a bout of radiation treatment in the afternoon. This continued with 4 more radiation treatments, the last two occurring on Friday morning and another in the afternoon, totalling 5 for the week.
The idea behind two radiation treatments on Friday is to ensure I get my 10 treatments in for the fortnight, and seeing as treatment started on a Tuesday, well, you get the idea.
To be honest, the entire process is starting to make me feel a bit tired. Nothing in particular, just a lot happening I guess. I've still got my appetite and with the change in painkillers I am sleeping better. I realise it's probably going to get pretty rough, but so far I think my body is handling it all pretty good, and I'm lucky I had the chance to bulk up a bit (get fat as) before the treatment commenced.
It all continues again next week on Monday, with my second assault with chemo on Tuesday morning. Unless there's something out of the ordinary to report, I'll probably keep these updates to a weekly thing.
Thanks to everyone for their support, it's greatly appreciated, and I'll catch you all with my next check-in.
Peace.
