Yesterday was far more tiring than I had anticipated. We went to Costco last night and I struggled to get through the whole shopping process. The kids helped me out and i literally just went d own some aisles and the kids ran and went and got everything. By the time we got to the…
I just finished my first day of treatment. I did not need to wear a gown and they placed a piece of plastic on my stomach as the treatment is superficial. The Radiation Tech mentioned that I might have nausea and to tell them if I do. The oncologist mentioned that it might happen and…
