I made it - sort of

I finished the radiation treatments on Friday. I am sure glad that is over. The nurses sent me home with my radiation mask as a souvenir, and a certificate of completion. It seems a little odd to get a certificate of completion but I guess now that I think about it, it's probably a select few who have one of those hanging on their wall. My mom always told me that I was special I guess she was right. They say the sides affects could linger for a few weeks. I still have headaches, nausea and vomiting so I guess they weren't kidding. So it's a little anti-climatic to be done and still feel crappy. I woke up this morning and my hair-hurt. This is not a good sign since I had the same sensation when I lost my hair during chemo. We'll do more scans to check the success of the radiation in a few weeks. Looking forward to feeling better soon. Take care. -Eric

We're happy you finished this radiation treatment and hope you will be feeling much better soon! It may not be so bad to loose your hair again, I thought you looked really handsom and I don't know that everyone can say that truthfully! I love you lots!
Love, Britt
