The Party's Over

~~Radiation~~

Tuesday again. Rad doc day... only the doc wasn't there today so i just had to see the nurse. She took me ahead of the 6 other people waiting for some unknown reason. Maybe cause i checked how many charts were in front of mine twice.*grin* The other patients can't really tell i bumped them and i don't take up much time usually cause i'm pretty healthy considering...probably cause i'm fairly young compared to most.

There is one younger couple i know there...they were the reason i checked the charts more than once...she wasn't feeling good so i went to see how long she had to wait...there were three people ahead of her so she got to leave without seeing the nurse. She's having chemo and radiation at the same time!! I can't begin to imagine what that's like!!!

Anyway, the nurse tells me there are no guarantees my hair will grow back...arrrrrrgh!!! Okay it was a bit shocking when i first heard it but i'm getting used to the idea now. I'll take a pic sometime and post it. I haven't lost that much hair but it was never very thick to begin with. Most of all I don't like the idea of never being able to tie my hair back again.

My skin is breaking down too. I can't really feel it because i'm numb on the left side of my face and around my ear from the surgery but they tell me i am. I'm supposed to do like a dressing change and apply this cream every 3hrs...Des ..like i'm gonna do drsg changes every 3 hrs??!!*grin* Anyway, it is pretty freaky cause your skin just opens up so i guess i'll do what they tell me for the most part...which means i basically keep gobbing cream all over me.
