It's been about 2 1/2 weeks since I got my radiation. I really didn't expect it to be too tough, but I was wrong. The fatigue has really gotten to me. After months of not being able to sleep, that's about all I can do these days. I forced myself to get off the couch today and take a bike ride - 6 miles was all I could handle. Quite a difference from my pre-diagnosis days.
Blood counts are dropping rapidly, as expected. I can hardly wait till it hits bottom (not really). At that point, I won't be able to cut anything, ride my bike or even shave my legs for fear of bleeding. The roughest part so far was having to stay away from Quilt Festival this year because of the crowds. Boy, will I make up for it next year.
