Halfway done.....

As of Monday's treatment I am halfway done..... they tell me the easy part is over and the last three weeks will be worse. At least they are honest.

I am still having PT and she tells me that this tightness, especially in my pec, can last up to a year after the end of treatment. I am starting to get the burning in my skin and the scratchy tightness in my throat. In the mornings I sound like a 2 pack an hour smoker and don't have the greatest voice around. Frozen yogurt is my friend and the manager at the Red Mango on Archer Road is so sweet. She will even make me a smoothy before the store opens if I call her. She said there are quite a few people in treatment that come to their store. Thankfully it is all natural so I can have it and they have a good variety of flavors.

My sleeve and glove came in today, the sleeve has to be remade as it was a little too short. I had her go ahead and order the night garment too. I was able to find a couple of different organizations who offer grants to help pay for things like this so I am hoping to be able to offset some of the $1100 it will cost to get all three pieces I need, none of which is covered by insurance. Cross your fingers. So far one place indicated they would cover $250. The night garment will take a couple of weeks, but it will be nice to be able to do it myself and not have to have Mom come over every night to wrap it up.

So until April 9 it is radiation every day and PT 2-3 times a week. Still able to squeeze a little work in between, 3 events in the next 10 days, so at least I will be busy!!!

Thanks for checking in on me.
