Ten days are now complete for radiation.   Eighteen more to to.  I am feeling fine so far and I don't expect any side effects until the end of next week.  I had a blood test this week and I saw the doctor .  My blood is looking good, not perfect yet but showing improvement.  The doctor discussed the pill I will start taking after radiation for 5 years.   Some of the side effects are:  hot flashes,  mood swings, osteoporosis.  That doesn't sound like much fun does it?  Of course everyone is different and there are other forms of the pill you can try.  For Randys sake I hope that mood swings is not one of the side effects I get.  Next time I see the doctor is at the end of August.
I  made and quilted a table topper today that I am really excited about.  Then I started on quilting my cancer quilt and hope to be close to done by the end of next week.  It has been a huge endeavor and I could not have done it without my good friend Jill.  I will post a picture of the table topper today since I know how to do that from my phone because Glenna is a good teacher.

These are two amazing photos of me getting ready for radiation.  Now I realize I should have taken a picture of the chemo room and me having chemo.  I have an appt. next week with the oncologist and I will be in the chemo room for a blood draw so I'll have to take a picture.  I just wish I had thought of it before because then you could have seen Jill and I working away on our quilt squares.

So while I am in the radiation machine I have found that counting slowly to 60 several times mixed with a few songs works great to pass the time.  When I would go to workout and i wanted the time to go fast but I didn't want to actually look and see how much time I had left, I would just start counting to 60 slowly and so it was actually a minute and a half would pass with each counting and then it helped the time pass. So now you all have a handy little tip to use when you want time to pass quickly.
