Week 1 of Rads done

So, once I got the call from ROV it was full steam ahead with planning CT and straight into the radiation treatment. 10 days starting last Tuesday.. Had Friday off work to rest and relax.
Driving home after day 1 Rads I was in a fair bit of pain... Weird, but called a flare up...which is good means the Rads are hitting the right spots.
So today is day onc day, denosumab, and just waiting to see onc now...hmmm

Hmmmm....burns

Who knew....two weeks after the ourselves of rads I end up it burns on my belly...sad face ...thought at first it was sweat rash from Bikram...but as I never had that I the 9 months I  have been doing it ... Ding in...I worked out ...and confirmed with a chat with  friend who has had a fair bit of radiation... She reminded me not to use oils like vitamin E...which I had been using...

So hopefully, now I am treating it with better stuff it ill improve....so itchy. Yay for QV

Also incredibly tired...came home yesterday and slept for 2 hours...then did Zumba with my girl! Week and 2 days til hols...can't wait... Still too much pain...

End of the week

So this I guess will become my new normal....pain, the shadow of a limited future hanging over me...and tiredness. But still I smile... I have been asked why.... Well why not? I can't change the cards I have been dealt....I can however play a bloody good hand...

The rads, I was told would cause a flare up of pain in the affected bones, and then the pain would cease....so I am going through that pain thing at the moment...and looking forward to the relief that is coming....

Right now though, I am sitting in the car, in the rain, watching my firstborn as he finishes his shift at work...and smiling. He is so clever, and sensible, and looking forward to the Presentation Ball next weekend, so am I .... He will be so handsome, and his partner...long term girlfriend, will be beautiful. I am making the most of every special event I have...trying not to cry over the ones I may miss...but that is a long way off... Staying positive folks....

Looking forward to Bikram in the morning.
