29 down and 1 to go! As my time with radiation draws to an end, I’m left wondering and hoping that my tumor, Rudy, goes away or shrinks/stabilizes. I had hoped my MRI would be closer to the last appointment, but it is scheduled for the first week of August.
I ordered some mini cupcakes for the staff at the treatment center. They look pretty good. I would love to have one, but I don’t want to break a package for my own wants. To say I’m excited to be done would be an understatement. Going there has been an experience. I’ve made some new “friends.” They’re great people, but I would have loved to have met them under different circumstances. I hope the regular staff is all there so I can see them one last time. I have a bloodwork appointment as well. I will still have weekly blood draws going forward. I’m not sure why they want to check my blood levels so often after I’m done, but I am stoked to not be on so many meds.
I didn’t get to go for a drive this weekend. I was not feeling up to it. I was a bit dizzy and tired. Plus, the rain chances didn’t help my nerves any. Maybe once the chemo is out of my system, I will feel more up to venturing out.
My hair is falling out in clumps in the back. It waited this long to start clumping out. What the heck! I asked my wife to buzz down the semi-mullet I have back there. I think it looks better trimmed up. I gotta get in for a trim or find my clippers and attempt a COVID-style buzz cut or fade. Back then, I taught myself via YouTube how to cut and fade my hair. It was easy and involved lots of pretzeling my arms to get the right angle. Imagine a set of clippers in one hand and an iPhone with the camera on in the other. It was a comical sight to see. Mirrors and pretzel arms. Weird angles.
I got to see the older couple at the radiation center today. They were super nice. They remembered tomorrow is my last day. I hope to see them again tomorrow, but their schedule has changed. I usually only see them in passing at the end of appointments.
Thank you for stopping by!
