They've drawn all over me......

Well, Monday morning came, and I went and got my markings. It didn't take as long as I thought it would. There's a lot of preparation that goes into this radiation stuff though. They stretch you out on a table, and you have to reach over your head and take hold of these handle bars. (Kinda looks like the handlebars to Rachel's scooter.) Then they draw all kinds of markings on you why you lie there feeling exposed and vulnerable. Oh, and then they tell you not to move a hair. All kidding aside, I couldn't help but be reminded of the way my granddaddy used to hang a deer up by a noose as he was getting ready to skin it. That's exactly how I felt..........

But it didn't take long, and I was quickly on my way. I was a little stiff from lying there and not being able to move, but overall, it wasn't too bad. I left with them telling me not to go swimming or get sweaty. It was 85 degrees that day, and they didn't want me to sweat. One of my markings was gone before I even got to bed that night.

I'm not sure when I will be going back. They have a lot of work to do to get everything ready, so they said they would call me. They know that I am off on Friday.....

While I was at work today, Peak Performance, the therapist's office that Dr. Ballenger referred me to, called and made me an appointment for Friday at 11:45.

So the appointments are adding up:
Friday 0845 Herceptin, get scans ordered
1145 Peak Performance

Hopefully, the closer it gets to Friday, the radiologist's office will have called. I'm hoping to see them Friday afternoon while I'm still in Greenville.

Okay, I need to get home. Been up since 0530 and have to do it again tomorrow. That's not very easy when you're still recovering from chemo. Good news though: if you look real close........
really, really close........you can see that my hair's starting to "sprout"!

Later,
Cindy
