Halfway!

Today, I hit the midpoint of my radiation treatments! That's 15 down and 15 to go. We're making some progress! When the radiation oncologist examined me, he said things were looking good. In fact, better than average! That's good because I'm trying really hard to prevent some of the awful skin problems that can occur. Right now, I look like I have a very slight sunburn. I don't think there is much that can be done to prevent some radiation burn. I just want to avoid the blisters, peeling and other yucky things. So, I am hopeful for the best!

To celebrate "Happy Halfway Day!" I brought a big basket of chocolate to the appointment with me. It seems that people don't normally do that and so...I'm one popular patient! Now I bet they'll be expecting something even more spectacular for the the last day. I'll have to think on that one.
