Treatment #17 - the halfway point!

Today is treatment number 17 and marks the halfway point for my radiation treatments.  Today I have felt a bit fatigued, but I'm not sure if it is due to my head congestion or if it is attributable to the radiation.  Fatigue is one of the symptoms of radiation treatment.  Also, my neuropathy (from my spinal cord surgery in 2010) is acting up today with a lot more back pain than usual.  So, overall, I am feeling a bit lousy today.

My last treatment is scheduled for February 19.  Assuming that there are no delays or missed appointments due to snow storms or illness, that will be the last day.  I will be glad to have this daily trip into Boston over!

Unfortunately, they are running about 15-20 minutes late today.  Since I'm supposed to have a full bladder when they zap me, it is a bit of a hassle to sit with a full bladder waiting for them to come and get me.  Usually, they are pretty prompt.  But, some days it is a hassle and I have to wait with a full bladder!
