10 more to go!

I can’t believe I only have ten sessions left of my radiation therapy! It’s been a journey for sure. The staff at the treatment center have been so nice. I can’t wait to ring the bell on my last treatment day. I’m hopeful Rudy is shrinking and stabilizing. I don’t know what I will do after the sessions are complete. I know I will have some free time on my hands. I mean it’s only about an hour a day. I’m sure my chemo will continue. But the radiation sessions will cease. July 8th, my last session. I’m ecstatic. I’m hopeful. I’m happy. Two weeks tomorrow and it’s finished!

We arrived early today. The valet sees us pull up and grabs the chair. We roll in and check in. I get my armband ID and wait for the tech to bring me back. They bring me to a holding area while I wait my turn. One of the medical assistants had a birthday and there were balloons. It was a pleasant sight to see. A tech brings me back and snaps me in. The mask is a familiar feeling now. I’m used to the radiation setting. They give me a behind the knee pillow and a round foam handle. I’m snapped in with the mask. It’s tight but a comfortable tight. I close my eyes and listen for the buzz. It’s over. I hear the techs come in and unsnap me. Back home we go.

I think I’m on the homestretch now. I hope the next couple of weeks are easy to manage. It’s not been too bad so far. Just the wobbly wobbly and the double vision. Now that my vision is back it’s been much better to get around.

Thank you for stopping by!
