So, there is nothing like moving quick when you are getting cancer treatment. They don't sit around waiting for a lot of things to happen, they just do it. I went in last Thursday for the initial set up scan of where radiation will take place. Then on Tuesday I went in for the more detailed scan and Wednesday radiation treatment began. So far I think radiation is much easier. I go in for a 1 pm appointment everyday and I am done and back to work by 1:30.
The first treatment on Wednesday went so fast that I actually had time to go through the Starbucks drive thru and still be back at work by 1:30. Basically I go in, put on a gown, lie down on my back on a table. They line me up with my marks, place the machine over me, leave the room and turn the machine on. There is a bit of noise, then the machine rotates and administers radiation from the back. That's right, radiation happens from both the front and the back but it doesn't take long. I will be doing what looks like 4 weeks of this and then hopefully that will be all the treatment.
Last Friday before we left for San Diego, Colby and I went and got our hair trimmed by the fantastic Kim:) After that trim, Rob and I have both noticed how quickly my hair seems to be growing back in. Of course, it doesn't have enough to not wear scarves or hats, but it will get there eventually.
Enjoy some pictures from our trip to San Diego to visit Katie and Robbie and hang out with the Wesley kids:) Oh and we go to the first football game of the season tomorrow so pics from that will be coming as well.
