Treatment Update

I started radiation last week! So easy, compared to chemo. I am going to Lahey in Burlington so it’s quick to get there, and I got appointments first thing in the morning. That way I can get back to watch the kids for the rest of the day, so it doesn’t really impact Eric’s workday.

Bonus – I don’t have to make the kids breakfast lol. And I get to listen to Matty in the Morning on the way to radiation! 👍🏻

I have 20 total radiation treatments – every weekday for 4 weeks. No side effects yet, although I was told skin irritation doesn’t always start right away, so we’ll see. They said radiation can cause fatigue, and I’m also going through immunotherapy which causes fatigue. Plus I have two little kids to watch all day. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Soo yeah, I’m definitely gonna be tired. Send coffee ☕️ Lol.

As for the immunotherapy, I go back next Monday, and I’m hoping I won’t have any reactions to the meds this time. Cross your fingers for me. 🤞🏻 It was awful last time and I’m really hoping this time will go more smoothly.
