Well...I have given up on the tattoos. They just replaced my very torn and tattered sticker. The reaction from the stickers can't be any worse than the effects of radiation. Today marked the end of 5 successful radiation treatments and they started off today with some more scans and x-rays. Not sure why, the communicative bunch didn't offer, and I didn't ask. They were kind enough to move my appointment time around to allow me to keep my dental appointment, I didn't want to bombard them with questions. I just wasn't in the mood.

They also "changed things up a bit" (their words). After the scans I had my 6th treatment. Instead of the usual 2 beams that are delivered, there were 6 or 7 all about a minute each. They are trying to bake me :-) and they are succeeding. The treatment area is sore and tender but still nothing I can't handle but I can see the progression and it doesn't excite me. Sooner, rather than later, I can see the area unbearable. Hey, I may surprise myself! Only time will tell and there is no getting off this ride so I will ride it out.

Tomorrow is another day :-)
I hope it's a good one for all!
