3 more

Hard to believe, but I've only got 3 more treatments left. What will I do with myself every morning without it? (HA- plenty!!!) My first thought is to sleep till noon, but I know that won't happen. While I'm not an early riser by any means, gone are the days when I could sleep all morning, for one thing my bladder wakes me up too often now ;-)

Today was the last day of treatment for one of my fellow rad patients. Everyone gave her their good wishes and wished her luck. I don't know what her primary cancer is, but she was getting radiation on her lungs and her brain and is also going through chemo simultaneously. Her husband came with her every day and was always so doting and sweet to her (and very nice to everyone else also). Today he told us that they had been together for 50+ years (they had started dating when they were 12 years old). The first dr. they saw told him that he'd had a lot of good years with her and to just let her go. They changed drs. and their current dr. was appalled at the previous drs. response to them. I also know from previous conversations that she was in tremendous pain and if for nothing else needed treatment for pain relief. I'm kind of glad that I won't know what happens with her in the future because I'd like to believe (in spite of knowing that it's unlikely) that she gets better and they have another 10 to 15 years of happiness together.
