Tomorrow commences my 37 weekdays in a row treatment with beams of radiation.
I have taken the paraffin liquid for over a week already and was surprised that it was not bad at all - at least compared to one of those fad oil drinking diets where one uses fowl tasting oils.
I found that over the past 10 days or so I have been literally exhausted by 19:30 each evening and force myself to stay up until 20:00 or 20:30, but still must get up at least every hour to use the restroom due to the 'feeling' of need. I am also experiencing joint pains in my wrists and right ankle - may have hip pains in the near future according to the side-effect list.
Looking forward to after my last radiation rays on October 9 followed by my last shot on October 15. Then just a few months until that shot's side effects wear down and all is back to normal.
Where's Doctor McCoy when you need him the most?
