The gals at my radiation oncology center make my day, and I only see them a few minutes. Everyone is so fun and friendly and we joke a lot. The routine has become so normal for me that it's hardly a big deal anymore going in for it, except that it's an interruption in my day especially when it's my day off work. But I'm no longer nervous. The hard table isn't annoying anymore because the 15 or 20 minutes I'm in there is so routine that it just flies by. I mostly just focus on the music playing on a portable stereo they have in the room. About three to three and a half songs and my radiation treatment is done.
My dietitian reminded me to be drinking a lot of water to stay hydrated. I mentioned that I've noticed some pain with urination and it feels like I can't get it to come out. She said if it continues then I need to mention it to the nurses tomorrow. She also keeps mentioning that she doesn't want me losing any more weight so that I can be strong for my surgery. I'll be losing enough weight from the surgery, so she doesn't want me to be underweight then. I haven't been trying to lose weight, it's just from how busy I've been, on my feet constantly for several days now trying to get everything moved and get the house cleaned. Now I'm living out of boxes until everything gets unpacked and in place, so it's been pretty hectic lately. I'm feeling so frazzled. But I'm eating enough. When things settle down I'll better be able to take her advice and eat little snacks throughout the day rather than a big meal for dinner. WEIGHT 134.8
