So, treatment #9 is going swell. Pretty much rested all weekend watching movies and football and doing homework.
I had to bring up radiation at this last doctors visit. In the beginning, I was pretty much set against it. I don't think as a young adult I want to deal with some of the consequences at later life, but the doctor is pretty adamant that I need this. And I really should trust her. So, I guess adding years to my life right now is more important. Besides, with preventative care, I should be able to catch anything serious later down the road before it gets to anything complicated. Optimism, right? So this means four more weeks of 15 min sessions getting radiated Monday through Friday. I didn't talk too much about particulars, but that is the gist. On another good note, I heard there is not major side effects. Just the regular fatigue. Because I made sure to ask her if going to class was still manageable, and she said it would be no big deal. =]
On the topic of classes, I am so glad to be back. I've already met some cool people and an old friend. Pretty excited to have these few weeks fly by in terms of these last three treatments left.
Hair continues to grow back. Really excited about this. Obviously, I only wish it grew inches in a day. But for what it is right now, I think the vitamins and exercise is working. Honestly, chemotherapy would have been 90% better if not for the loss of hair. They really need to start researching this. I've actually heard of new drugs that will prevent it. Hmm...
So many exciting things planned out for the next few months. Nothing comes fast enough. Mr. Aaron and I are planning a San Francisco trip whenever this ordeal is done with. I am pretty excited for this. A road trip sounds pretty amazing. He just bought a truck last night, calls it our SF road trip truck. Lol. Optimistic about this...
Love you all,
Parker
