Wednesday is Doctor Day!

When in radiation therapy wednesdays are doctor days. Every wednesday we meet with our radiology oncologist for a check up. He checks on side effects, and an overall well being check. (the radiation therapists check daily as well). So today we met with the doc. We are going to try a heavier dose of steroids to help my headaches. Im not looking forward to it to be honest. Steroids give me insomnia. It doesnt matter when I take them, I will not sleep. So bring on the joy of no sleep for me. Other than that Im doing okay.

We also took Elliot to see the dermatologist today. Little man had a mole on his foot that concerned us. I know Im more paranoid about melanoma than the average person, but come on. I was worried. The doctor was not worried at all at his foot. Its a perfect little mole. Nothing abnormal about it. Shes not worried about him at all. We will go back in 6 months to take another look at it, but as of right now everything is good! So that is a bit of good news for us, and one less thing to worry about.
