Monday Monday...

Treatment went as usual today. In and out no fuss. My headache is already started back. Treatment seems to cause the headaches to be much worse. Dont get me wrong, my head always hurts, just it significantly increases on treatment day. Im a bit fuzzy/loopy today as well. Im having a hard time focusing. That could be due to the headache or just another side effect. My scalp is also getting tender again. Back in December it felt this way before my hair fell out, then for a while afterwards while it healed. Seems that the radiation dries my skin out badly.

Tomorrow we have another doctors appointment with my oncologist. Im not sure what we are going to talk about. Hopefully the second opinions he was trying to get. We cant start much of anything until we know how radiation is doing. Im looking forward to what he may or may not say.

Im doing pretty good compared to how it sounds. Loads of naps happening. It seems the only way to keep the headaches down is to nap. My grandmother made me a quilt and gave it to me this weekend. Its the perfect napping quilt! Elliot even loves curling up on it. Hes recently learned how to get onto the couch. (my new nightmare) For now, Im going to go take a nap. I will update tomorrow once I get more info.
