Weekly Report- Saturday, January 9, 2009

Each Thursday the radiologist and the nurse check my progress. This week, after examining me, they both said I was doing well. I was grateful to hear it. During her examination, the nurse asked if I had any pain in the area being treated. At this point, I do not, but I mentioned feeling achy all over. She made no comment. After the radiologist performed his exam, he said that I would probably only see some minor side-effects toward the end of the treatment time. More news for which to be grateful. However, today I noticed a burn mark under my right arm, the area where people commonly see such side-effects. Thankfully, it looks worse than it feels. Fifteen treatments down, eighteen to go.
