Treatment Begins

Wis thinking of you

Im sorry you are in so much pain. But glad you don't feel anything from treatment yet. My first week was spent in pain too because I was told I couldn't take Tylenol and ibuprofen anymore and new pain meds had to be used- I ended up on oxycodone and morphine eventually. In my second week my son had to have an emergency appendectomy and I was well enough to spend the night with him in the hospital and walk the couple of blocks over to my radiation treatment the next morning!

It's kind of amazing what we can do when we don't have a choice, isn't it?  30 odd years ago, I spent a few nights at the hospital with a sick infant, just a few days after I had major abdominal surgery.  I couldn't fasten my pants, but I stayed with him!

I'm REALLY looking forward to not going for treatment this weekend!  I'll be able to sleep in because I won't need to get up so early to eat and get these pills into me.  Funny how the littlest things take on new importance!
