Monday…

Today was the first day of the fifth and last week of radiation. Only four more radiation treatments to go. I’m almost there! Thoughts of going home this weekend (hopefully) are giving me that extra push I need right now.

In some ways today was a better day - but I’m not really sure I could explain what made it a better day. Outside it was beautiful, partly sunny, and cool. Only 52 degrees when we left the apartment. My walk was shortened a little because of discomfort (I only did 4 miles), but I’m ok with that. I still felt nauseous most of the day, but did get a few short periods of relief. I plan to talk with the doctor tomorrow to see if more can be done to minimize the nausea. I also plan to ask about the constant burning. Fingers remain crossed that each day will see progress and get a little better.

In the apartment…on our way out for an evening walk.
