One week of radiation done... 6 to go. Toni (even as I write) is completing her last day of radiation for this week.
She started off ok... but wound up having to take one day off to catch up a bit; did not sleep well after switching to the new chemo. The rest of the week passed without a hitch. She also got in a couple of massages to help reduce the lymphedema, as well.
Ok... so I have to tell a story. This might be too much info... uh,,,,well here it goes. So, on Tuesday night (right before bedtime) I was upstairs shooting off a quick note to Brandon on email. Toni comes into the "den" and I turn around to see her and there she is... well... ok topless. While I was trying to think of something to say, she blurts out, "Feel my boobs!" Now, I don't recall the last time, anyone said that to me.....ever. Of course, I was elated. I must of looked stunned, because she grabbed my hands, placed them on her (well you know...boobs) and then proceeds to ask me, "So which one is warmer?" I obviously was not picking up on her line of questioning. Toni then explained that she thought the radiation treatment had made her right side warmer than the left side. Of course, I was still enjoying the challenge of figuring out which one was warmer. Bottom line... I could barely tell. I asked her at dinner tonight if she still thinks one side is warmer, and Toni replied she thinks the right side is still a tad warmer than the left side. Maybe I will get asked to evaluate in her status in a few weeks.
There is the update for the time being. I have heard of requests to do more blogs. We'll see what we can do get a few more in a week.
