Day 3

Today was day three of radiation. They only did one xray film and I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Much nicer than before and no headache from laying on the plastic headrest for an extended time. I noticed this morning that I can see redness in one of the target areas on my head--it is where my hair is still growing in from the surgery, so it is easier to see than the other areas. I can imagine that it hurts, but I don't think it does, really. Every once in a while I feel a stinging sensation. It is difficult emotionally to 'submit' to therapy. The notion of lying myself down and allowing beams of radiation to be shot into my head seems counterlogical. I'm trying to adjust my thinking--I remind myself that my faith is in God and that this therapy can be life saving. That is all for now. I'm tired and want to take a nap--and I have the time and ability to do so! Whoo-hoo!!
