Radiation Therapy Begins

Today was day one of at least 24 for my radiation. Not pleasant in any way, but certainly not unbearable. Wonderful, kind staff. My appointments will continue every weekday at 3pm. I expect to experience hair loss and skin irritation at the three target points. Fatigue, short term memory loss, and loss of appetite are other possible side effects. I am grateful that the blessings in my life outweigh any negatives. Having David and the kids to support me is wonderful, and God has showered me with family and friends. I am not joking when I say that I am living on hugs and prayers. Thank you all for continuing to hold me.
