My update thrrough Radiation

Hello to my dear family and friends,

It's been since the 16th of October since I connected with all of you. I stared my radiation from the 15th of October every day during the week. I will be getting radiation daily during the week only. I will receive 12 sessions of radiation and was finished on Thursday Nov.30th. I felt pretty good until the last week of my radiation when the Nurse said I will start feeling a bit tired. They really know how a person should be feeling with this Radiation. On Monday the 27th of Nov. I thought I had a cold cause my throat was so sore, I couldn't swallow. I was relieved It wasn't a cold any way.

Now folks God allows my son Ron and June and dad come with me to the Drs. appointments cause they listen and hear thinks I forget. During my appointment with the Radiologist with Dr. Hafer on the 14th of Oct. before I started my radiation, my son remembers all what the doctor said I will be feeling.

He makes a list for me and says, Mom your esophagus will get irritated and will take 2 to 3 weeks to heal or feel better. Expect to feel very tired from the radiation treatment. That is normal and it will take 3 or 4 weeks to get back your energy. He said to do what I want, but if I feel tired to slow down.

Saw Dr, Nanci my oncologist yesterday and she scheduled me for another ct scan on November 25, so she said now is to time to relax and enjoy the things I want and to go places we want to go. All this is written on Ron's note pad and he emails me so I will have a copy. Eat small meals and cut up my food into small pieces. I thank God for all my children who are always calling and wondering how I am doing.

We will all take a trip or something very soon. Maybe to San Diego or somewhere close. So thank you all for being such support for me and I will continue my blog when I see the Dr. in December after my ct scan. Love your continued prayers, cards , thoughts and support. Love seeing all of you at church. Come all the holidays will remember to take pictures of my loving famly and place them in the blog. Much Love don, dottie and family
