PET scan results/ Radiation

This is way late I am not a very good blogger:) Well good news my PET scan/CT was negative for cancer-yeah!!! My next scan, CT only will be in May and from then will be every 6 months, for 5 years.  So on to radiation. I had my pre radiation appointment. They fitted me for this mesh mask (its kinda scary) For my radiation appointments they lock this mask onto the bed. Reminds me of something off a horror movie. The reasoning is to get me into the right spot everytime. They also did some x-rays to get the exact spot where they will be radiating. Everyone there is very nice, even the patients. I have met some really nice people there. Its interesting to hear there stories and makes me feel very fortunant because it could be alot worst. Yesterday was my first radiation treatment. I was very nervous, but it turned out to be nothing. They locked me into my mask (this thing cracks me up) and the big light goes over to the area to be radiated, I see a beam of red light and then a loud beeping noise that its being delivered and thats it. Oh I forgot to mention I only have to get radiation on the left side where I had my surgery, was very excited about that. I get four different areas where they radiate so only takes about 2 minutes. I met with the nurse afterwards. She told me my radiation is so short (17 days) I should not have any problems. I got some cream so have been putting that on three times a day. The only side effect I could have is fatigue, whats new:). So far so good. I started going to the gym again, I sure did miss that. I am so glad this is almost coming to an end. Come on February 13, my last day of radiation:)
