I don't really have alot to say about the treatment.. It is every day. I do get a little sick from it off and on. I am getting very tired.
I find that when I get tired, I GET TIRED. It is just bang and then I need to go to bed. It is the kind of tired that makes me cry. This might sound funny, but the last year and a half when I get really tired I usually cry for no reason. That is when I know that it is bed time.
Last night Dan was installing a new t.v and he looked over at me and said " are you asleep" I was just staring at a paper wrapper on the coffee table. I knew I was going to start crying so I also knew it was bed time. It was just a little after 8, but I was done. Getting out of the bed is harder in the morning also.
The Radiation tech asked me how I was handling the getting tired last Thursday.He said that I was getting more treatments than the normal breast cancer treatment because of the sternum. The average breast cancer patient gets 2-10 different positions of radiation . I am getting 16-22. At least he did not say I was a tough little cookie. I saw a woman who looked like she had, had a pot of boiling oil thrown on her chest. Lobster red and blisters. She said she had accidentally tore off her first layer of skin while taking of her night gown in the morning. She said she was to sleepy and she forgot to go slow. That scared the pee wad out of me. I guess I had more to say than I thought
STILL I like this better than chemo.
I'm sorry you are getting so tired mom. The one good thing, is you know it will pass. Just think, you're so close to being done. Yeah! I'm so proud of you!!!
