Week One Done
Week one of radiation treatment is over and I have a three-day breather before I go back to the daily treks downtown. Now that I know what to expect and how the cancer society carpooling works, it's pretty easy to cope with. I feel much more fatigued than I expected and the nausea is definitely there but managed quite well with medication. I'm able to do a little of everything -- housework, walking my dog, gardening -- but not nearly as much as I want to.
I was thinking wistfully the other day about rollerblading, wondering if I would ever do it again. I think so, but ever so slowly at first. I am still feeling sore from a body slam to my lower leg from Silver (Claire's boxer) last Wednesday. He thought he could get to the top of the stairs faster by going through me.
