"RADIOACTIVITY"

Today was my first official day of radiation therapy. It was a piece of cake and went sooooooo fast. It took them longer to place me on the table correctly than to radiate me. The machine emitted radiation from over me for about 10 seconds, it moved positions (approx. 30 seconds), and then emitted radiation from underneath me for about another 10 seconds. So do the math, 50 seconds in total. The rest of the time again, was spent on placing me on the table and my changing in and out of the fabulous gown that I keep in cubby #6. I was told that the radiation will build up in the body. It is not until about 1.5 weeks into the process that the effects will become noticable. So I still feel fine. We'll see how I am doing by next week.
