Wednesday is prime Zappage day!


Today we had a new radiation area. They are amping up and zapping the rest of my brain to max levels. This will be going on daily for the next 4 treatments, then we are done. My last treatment day is tuesday. Then the waiting begins. 

We have noticed a slow decline in how Im feeling. The radiation is finally taking its toll. Its always a slow process. My hair is gone, more keeps falling out daily. Good news is there is less to fall. Im exhausted all of the time. Sleep depravation due to steroids stinks, but yesterday and today I have felt just run over. I can hardly keep my eyes open any longer. I feel pressure in my head constantly, which is again expected. On top of it all I have no appetite. I eat, but not because Im hungry. I eat because I have to to take my meds. Ugh. Oh, and the night sweats have started. Waking up in puddles sucks. 

Other than all that we are doing good. :) Its almost the end of the week, so we will get a break from zappage. Maybe I can get caught up on some rest. *crossing my fingers*.  The doctor says everything in treatment is normal, so we should be on track to finish all treatments as planned. So that is the good news!
