Treatment day 2 through 30!

Just got my radiation treatment scheduled. For some reason the treatment seemed shorter when my doctor told me, it’s going to be 5 days a week for 5.5 weeks. When I saw the 3 pages of pending appointments starting at the end of this month and ending in October excluding weekends and holidays, hope my condition takes those days off as well, that seems ominously long. The actual radiation treatment will take about 30 minutes.

This will probably be the last post I place on this subject. I know some of you will be relieved I’ll be dropping this and my very personal adventure here but know this I have received multiple pm’s from people male and female ,who are either beginning their own journey, in the middle, completed it or have a loved one dealing with this disease. Their stories and stories from other friends I have and those that have become friends because of this disease are sometimes overwhelming. That’s the reason I did this definitely not for me. I’ve appreciated the support from them and I hope they appreciated my reciprocal support.

Only one person here, knowing that I was dealing with this disease, wished the worst for me. She recently told me and I will quote her

…..I hope that karma finds you and deals with you accordingly.

I won’t disclose her handle but she should buy a lottery ticket because what she’s predicted is coming true God or Karma is dealing with me accordingly. I just hope they are more forgiving.

Thank you for your kind words of support. Since I posted this today I’ve received 5 pm’s from members who are going through the same thing. They are scared we all are. I understand why they don’t want to respond on this open forum because it exposes your vulnerability. I’m no different than any one of them . I know they are paying attention to the post and please continue to pm me with questions. Most of them are asking about how I’m feeling on day 4 after my Lupron shot. Well not bad knock on wood, I haven’t tied my grandkids up and locked them in a closet and I haven’t kicked my dog but the day is still young. I will say this it’s definitely affected my libido. I turned on lifetime channel before I checked hx this morning. I actually have money in my bank account now. So thank you again Stacy. I hope you’ll let me see you when I get through this?

On a side note, do you think she’ll share any of her winnings if she does hit the lottery big?

Nope

It will be over before you know it. I had radiation treatment almost 3 years ago. Mine was 5 days a week for 8 weeks. Also was in lupron which lowered my testosterone to 0. Experienced male menopause. But happ6 to say I’m cancer free and my testosterone level is back to normal. Wish you the best!
