9 more days!

Today began the second part of my radiation treatments. I am receiving the same amount of radiation, it will just be targeting the area of the tumor now.There are 9 more to go, with that being a total of 25 all together.
My skin is now getting a bit raw, red and itchy. The aloe and cortisone cream do help a lot. The biggest issue i am having is fatigue. I realized how much it is affecting me when we went on a 4 day camping trip this weekend. I was exhausted when we left and had so much more energy by the time I got home. Each day was better and better.A 4 day break from radiation was wonderful!
So.. I am looking forward to getting the next 9 days over with and then regaining that energy in time.

Don't think that I have forgotten about you, there is no way. You are always in my prayers Elayne. Life is pretty hectic on this side of Denton. I really do miss our talks and hope that we can talk soon. We have to stop saying that and just do it! Love you girlfriend!
