Focus
One good thing - I still have a job. A job I have lost focus of because of the current information, layoffs and an oncoming cold. It's really hard to sit at your desk and be interested when the mind is a million thoughts away and you REALLY are not liking what you are tasked to do. Like I said, It's a really good thing I still have a job. Phew. For now anyway.
Tomorrow I start my radiosurgery, I'll get zapped 4 times. I had my mask made on Monday and had simulated radiation treatment. I will be laying on a table with a mask over my face that is attached to the table. It will keep me still while the radiation is administered. I'm a little frightened. Just that it is all starting again. There won't be any side effects for now. Doc says that the side effects that may happen will be stroke like. More likely I will have another reoccurrence before I experience radiation side effects. My side effects that i have had for the last week are nausea and fatigue from the stress. Oh and I think my left shoulder is up around my ear it is so tense. I am going to try to get a massage this weekend. Whoo hoo! Anyone???? Anyone???
There are so many people around me to support me. I love you all.
I'm going to try to take a pic of me laying on the table - I've never seen it. If it's not too horrifying I'll post it.
