Quick Health Update:

Thought I would share here instead of doing a blog post. Getting ready to start radiation. First treatment is next week on Monday. It will be two types, 8 total so far. Then it will depend on results before the doctors pick the next step in our battle against cancer.

You are in my thoughts.
Sending good vibes your way! I went through radiation, and it is a lot harder on your body than they make it sound. Fair warning! It made me so fatigued I could barely function, and that lasts long after you are done with the treatment. It also clouded up my cognitive functions.

Be kind to yourself as you are going through this. You may find you need to rely on loved ones and friends more than you are used to doing.
Have an update in my blog about my struggle to finish writing in February and the plan for radiation treatments in the near future.

It sounds to me like the medical facilities and the insurance companies are running you around among them like a scalded cat and promising to toss some cool water on you at their convenience.
I fervently hope they get it all sorted very soon and just do for you what you need.
All our best wishes are with you.
