It's day 3 of the radiation treatments. 7 more to go. It's not going as smoothly as I had hoped. Day 1: I recieved the first radiation dose. They are radiating my entire head, and a small area on my left lung where the cancer is the most dense. I went to work after the first dose, 4 hours later I got a really bad headache, 2 hours after the headache I came home from work and started vomiting and feeling pretty crappy, I didn't sleep well that night. Day 2: More vomiting. I received the second dose of radiation. The doctor put me on steroids to reduce the swelling in my head and help with the headaches, and naseau medication to help with the vomiting. Day 3: More vomitting. I recieved the third dose of radiation. The headaches seem to be gone after starting the regime of steroids, but the naseua is still around. The doctor suggested a different naseua medication. I am also feeling a little fatigue, but the naseua is the worst. Fun stuff. What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. Take care. -Eric

Hang in there Eric. I am sorry you have to go through all of this but I know it will turn out good in the end.
