Today We Met The Radiation Doctor

Ken and I went to my appointment with the radiation doctor. Once again I had to go to registration and check in. Of course, I had to wait. Then I went to the Cancer Center and even though I have been going there regularly since June I had to answer 5 pages of questions! Then I got to wait and by now it is past my appointment time. Anyway, pink skin and tiredness are possibilities from the radiation. I will have 33 M-F, daily visits. I will see the radiation doctor each Monday. It will take about 15 minutes each day. Before radiation starts I have to get 3 tattoos. I don;t get to pick anything exotic. They will all be very small blue dots. Kind of boring. If I could at least pick the color that would be cool. They will be used to line up the 3 laser lights in the room with my body. I will have my arms over my head and I will get to lay there and relax while I am given the radiation. On Friday, I will go in for a CT Scan and by looking at this they will know where I will need the radiation. Plus they will mold the thingy for my arms to lay in during the radiation. I will start radiation on Monday, January 3rd.
One of my girls in my class came to me and said, "I know how to spell best friend" I jumped on that and asked "How?" She promptly said, "BFF" I was caught by surprise and all I could say was "Okay!"
Hair update or should I say lack of hair update. I have very few eyelashes under my eyes. It looks weird. On the top eyelid I still have some eyelashes. About half my eyebrows are gone. Now the hair on my head is getting visible. It is about a half an inch long. It is getting kind of thick. It is very gray!
