Radiation

Well, it's set for me to have my body scan on 4/2/09. That is when a machine scans your body pre-radiation to make sure that you getting the right spots hit.
It's a marriage of a treatment. Once started, a regimen needs to adhered to. 5 days a week, 15 minutes a day. 28 days of intensive treatment, then 5 of generalized.
I am so glad to have it done before the hot weather hits, as the skin treated has to protected from the sun and the elements.
The side effects are a sunburn like rash and tiredness.
Apparently, by having this done, it has the preventative value of a mastectomy, while allowing me to keep my body intact. Also, dealing with any little time bombs that I have nesting under my skin right now.
My only complaint in general is that I am not completely back. I am still getting fatigued easily.
I am ready to be healthy again. So ready.
