Start of Week Two

Today marked the start of week two with radiation treatment #6 of 25. It is becoming routine…I show up….I hear my name announced over the speaker when it’s my turn…I escort myself back to the dressing room, change and then wait in the hall. My time on the machine is very quick…probably less than 5 minutes. After today’s treatment I’m starting to feel the burn…it’s not painful…but it is a reminder of what might be coming, so I try to prepare myself. The anticipation makes it worse. My job is to remain positive.

There are also many positive moments on this journey. This morning we discovered, together, the amazing beauty of Bear Creek Trail.
