I have finished eight weeks of treatment. This week was more of a 'get yourself a little more physically fit' than any treatment. And - of course - last week I spent in the hospital curing blood infections and such.
My main object this week was to get the skin that has been burned (radiated) on my upper chest and neck areas to a stage where I will be able to continue with the remainder of my radiation treatment. It looks as though that is being accomplished.
I will begin radiation again on Monday. Also on Monday I will be meeting with my oncologist doctor to discuss status of myself in regards to chemo. More to come on this after I see Dr. Hamden.
I am doing fairly well this weekend. I still have a high buildup of mucous which interferes with my breathing and swallowing, especially at night. I am not able to talk or swallow as of yet, and I do not get a large amount of sleep.
Thant's it for week 8.
The healing powers of the human body are miraculous, the mind and heart more so. Thanks for the updates. Know sometimes the energy just isn't there.
