What a nice birthday… cards, calls, e-mails, Happy Birthday songs on voice-mail, Ric’s presents and dinner yesterday, and a great cat birthday card today, cake at Working Women’s Wednesday… I felt like a little kid. It was fun.
Had a doctor appointment today… got briefed on radiation schedule, which will be starting soon. Radiation oncologists will be calling me to set up an appointment to get started. Radiation will begin three weeks after the last chemo – around August 3. It will be every day for 6-7 weeks. Technology here in Charleston is first rate. All the doctors are good ones. Minimal side effects to be expected… fatigue, minor skin irritation (but there’s a medicine for that!)
Felt really good again today – no pain. Chemo tomorrow… so tonight I take the big dose of Decadron at midnight and at 6:00 a.m. Oh boy.
