On Tuesday, November 6th, I had my final radiation therapy! While I’m glad to be done with that daily obligation, I’ll miss the awesome staff at Swedish Radiation Oncology in Edmonds.
My medications are significantly reduced now: no chemotherapy for 4 weeks, no anti-nausea pills, no steroids… so my sleep should get more stable (no more waking up at 5am with a bunch of epic ideas driving me out of bed). All in all, I’ve done well under the circumstances. The doctor told me the hair around my left ear should return in a couple months, though it won’t necessarily be the same color and style as before–so that’ll be quite a Christmas gift 🙂
Speaking of gifts, I was allowed to keep the radiation mask. While I’d love to turn it into a wall lamp like Simone Giertz, I’m thinking it could come in handy for next Halloween.
That’s all for now. I’ll share an update after the next MRI.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
