So, there's just four more radiation treatments to go - next Thursday will be my last. It's a relief - it's starting to get sore down there and, while it's hard to tell whether it's the chemo or the radiation that's doing it, I'm slowing way down these last few days!
But, it's a routine! It's a routine that I've got used to - I show up every morning, I'm greeted at reception, I chat to the technicians, I check in with the nurses, I talk to other patients, I update the doctor on my latest symptoms.....I'm going to miss it! Butt-cheek tape and all!
Obviously, there is going to be something to replace it. The next phase is recovery, and preparation for the big operation, so I need to get in to some sort of new routine to help me with that. I need to feel like I am doing something to help get rid of this thing, so hopefully there is something pro-active that I can get onto. There's a gym in Santa Rosa that offers free use to cancer patients - I guess it would be foolish not to advantage of it, get a fitness/strengthening routine going? The only worry would be showering while I still have the picc line attached. We'll see. Upwards and Onwards!
