Well, I am half way through my 27 treatments and I am still somewhat vertical! Radiation is kind of kicking my ass. I am not really sick, I am just tired and I have a hard time swallowing. My salivary glands are being messed up so food just tastes horrible. Sugary things are really the worst. I can taste some salty things, but nothing REALLY tastes good. But, it is temporary, RIGHT? I have to keep telling myself that. The field of radiation actually touches the bottom part of my hairline on my neck so I am losing some hair. Apparently this type of hair loss is permanent, but as my hair grows longer it will cover it up. It was by far the worst hair loss I have had through the whole thing. Very strange. My shirts are just covered in this short hair. My mom is here so things are a whole lot better. She cooks and does laundry and anything else I need. The kids love having her here, too. Well, I guess that is enough for now. I am fine, just tired. I am getting very close...
