Week six started on Tuesday 27, December with my standard radiation treatment, 24 of 38, then over to the cancer center for my blood work which was good, only a slight decrease on my red blood cell count, then a short consult with the doctor who said I'm doing great and after my last treatment, third week of January, I will get a 1 month break then more scans and next phase of chemotherapy treatments, they are the ones that will knock the hair off my head ;>) then I went to the treatment room for my 5th set of infusions, as before no adverse side effects, just extremely tired for about 4 hours, also only able to sleep for about 5 hours.
Wednesday I had my 25th radiation treatment and a consult with the doctor who also said I'm doing great, gained 3 more pounds, yikes! Once I finish these treatments I will be done with radiation and will only receive chemotherapy for a few more months.
I still feel great, have a good appetite, and other then the night after chemo I sleep good. Thanks to all who have been following this blog, I appreciate the support.
Here is the new field for radiation to the tumor and lymph node areas for the last half of my treatments.
