Zapped 3 Times
Radiography is my new full-time hobby, as it takes about half a day to get there and back, then the other half to recover. The treatment is pretty quick now and I'm developing close and personal relationships with the tech team (or should I call them the beam team?). Starting to recognize other patients, too, either my ride mates in the cancer society carpool, people I know from Wellspring or just others who show up every day like me.
Fatigue notwithstanding, I managed to get to yoga this evening. My teacher says to try to be "in present moment" during the practice and if I do that, I am painfully aware of how my body is reacting to the latest medical assault. Lots of stiffness and weak areas, especially on my right side, the one most affected by the cancer.
At least now I have some effective pharmaceuticals to fend off the nausea I was starting to feel on Monday. They work so well, in fact, that I downed a substantial sushi lunch with Claire today after treatment.

So glad you got to Yoga again, Hope you said 'hello' for me.
Popped into church today and those there send their love. They always ask, as you know but some do not have access to read your upbeat messages.
Luv and stuff

Lynda, you are a winner. Your uplifting attitude is your strongest ally. You amaze me. Your posts are so beautifully written, I am sure I am not the only one who feels as if I am there talking with you. Wishing you bright days and memories to cherish, even now as you face your angels and demons.
