First day was a-ok!

So, radiation was fine this morning! It took about an hour and a half in total by the time I got called in, radiated on, moved around, talked to, etc. should be quicker as we do it daily. The mask was really tight and they had me listening to a little ACDC. I didn't mind that at all. As long as its not silent! Oh yeah, and it smells funny when they radiate. Almost like metal. And a few people have asked, there is no pain during the treatment.

Overall, thumbs up...

Now, I'm off to work. 

To add, the extremely nice technician, Kyle, moved my time to 8am as originally planned. I told him I wanted to hug him I was so happy. He said the water works on Friday really made him feel so bad so he moved the schedule around to get me in at 8! Thank you, Kyle! (He's very cute too for any single ladies out there...)

Medicine starts tonight... Pray for no negative side effects 🙏. Then I know I can take it on the weekends and not have to worry about anything going wrong. I have a wedding to attend this weekend in Syracuse so I'm really hoping it all goes smoothly! I am actually for the first time I think in my entire life going to wear a dress I bought for the night before graduation, again. Wearing a formal dress twice is just not heard of for me. We will see. 💃

Then a few weeks in the red skin, burning, irritated, and hair loss begins.. The joys of radiation therapy combined with chemo. I wish you could choose where the hair loss took place, that would be some business. People would be lined up for radiation. Legs, armpits, bikini line, where my eyebrows grow in too thick, yes please! Sign me up! Can I keep my head hair, brows and eyelashes? Great, thanks. 

Does anyone know of a way that I can post something to look for other grade 3 brain tumor patients in their 20's? You know like post it somewhere to have them reach out to my e-mail or something, which is en11word@gmail.com if anyone is wondering. Lemme know!

Peace and Love.
