Ellies last day of preschool. She is super excited, she gets to dress up. While Ellie is at school, we make our way to radiation. I am super nausea and tired and sore. Crazy sore from the port procedure. I had an ice pack on it all night. Walked into radiation and ended up needing a wheelchair because I'm so dizzy and weak. Radiation goes by quick and we are back home.
Ellie gets home and is so excited to show me what she did at school. They played games and got prizes. She was so happy.
I spend the rest of the day resting or trying to rest. Still sore but i think i made the right decision to get a port. I still have 4 more chemos and 5 internal radiations not to forget about any CT scans the doctor might include in the remainder of my treatment.
I am dreading tomorrow. I want to be positive. Tomorrow is the internal radiation. (Description) This type of radiation therapy is also called brachytherapy. Brachytherapy uses an implant (a seed, catheter or rod) that is sealed with a radioactive substance. The implant is placed into the uterus through the vagina and treatment is delivered. Brachytherapy is done on an inpatient basis, and the patient is allowed to leave following treatment.
