The day is over and I’m ready for it and ready for bed. I’m disappointed that I haven’t bounced back more quickly. I put it to the radiation. Although I don’t feel any direct effect from it, I have to think the added stress has degraded my response.
I’m looking forward to the weekend where I can catch up on my sleep.
Good night.
Posted by The Vorlon at March 23, 2006 9:48 PMRadiation is a very wearing process. I found it very tiring just to get ready to go everyday. We feel we need sleep so badly, but we must go to radiation again today. Visualize, if you can, each time you hear that radiation machine turn on, that those bad cells are leaving your body. Actually, make up a picture of what you think those nasty little buggers look like and watch them fly away from you - never to return. It's an elementary process I know, but, it truly helped me to endure 35 radiation treatments. And, I am now going into my 11th year of remission. Psychologically, it was about the only way to get through it for me, as I was also so weary.
I pray so much that you will be finished with the radiation therapy before long, and can begin to get that "oomph" back. It's there, you're just a little to tired to see it, but we know it's there and will rise again.
Praying for a better day tomorrow for you.
