I feel accomplished completing the 2nd week of radiation.
My body is adjusting to the routine. The fatigue is the worst side effect so far.
Chemo continues daily. Meds continue. Life continues. I’m happy for Friday. No appointments tomorrow. No radiation. Just meds and routine.
I wish I was in a better state physically. Metallica is playing at Raymond James tonight and tomorrow. First show in Tampa in 15 years. I would love to go to this show. Concerts are a happy place for me. The last one before my diagnosis was Gary Clark Jr. That was one of my favorite shows I’ve ever attended. Music and comedy are my go-tos.
My double vision is much better. I can see down the road more as we are traveling to the treatment center for radiation. No longer am I squinting one eye to watch TV or see normally. Distance vision isn’t 100% yet, but it’s getting there. My vertigo is present. That really has not changed much.
I got my steroid refilled yesterday. I tapered down to 6mg, 2mg 3x daily. I was on 8mg/day. I tapered yesterday to ration out my last few doses; I felt good with it.
I made a TikTok dinner last night. It was easy: Million Dollar Tortellini. The recipe calls for ground beef, but I had some rotisserie chicken breast, cut that up, half a bag of spinach, a small pack of Buitoni tortellini, a jar of Alfredo, a can of pizza sauce as it was pre-seasoned, some pepperoni, and two slices of mozzarella torn into pieces and scattered over the top. I baked it for an hour, covered with foil, at 350 degrees. It was delicious, and surprisingly it was only 5 points on WW. We had a salad with it. I will have a small portion for lunch today.
Tonight is Friday, so we are going to have some Chick-fil-A. My fave.
Thank you for stopping by for an early blog.
