Week 5 Day 4 (4/7/22)

Radiation was early this morning. 7:40 AM. But I managed to get there on time and took my youngest son with me. He sat in the waiting room while I was being spray tanned.

They didn’t have my gown size so I ended up in a small gown that clearly wasn’t long enough. This became an issue while laying in the table . My triage of nurses all got flashed several times. I’ve never seen so many pale faces burn crimson before. They apologized several times and I simply replied “Sorry, it’s cold in here .”

When I left the office I told my son about the laser beams they were shooting at me and I couldn’t dodge them because they have Spanish Inquisition torture racks in the back. His eyes were so big . Then I said General Ross even appeared to overlook the Gamma exercises to make sure his daughter wouldn’t have another suitor.

We headed out and I dropped my son off at school. I told him in love you and he says the one thing that melts my heart every time. “I love you more!” This was the perfect beginning for a shitty day that today will become.

The rot in my mouth has gotten worse. Good news is the chemo bag causing it all comes off tomorrow. I’m going to include an image of the roof of my mouth around my tonsils. It’s quite a thing to look at. I have similar abrasions around my gums that developed last night. The tonsils have been 24+ hours. I’ve also dropped down to 175 lbs as of this morning. I think that’s everything and sleep deprivation appears to want me to have a short break.
