Three Weeks Later

It has been about three weeks since my last radiation session. Most of the hair fell out where the radiation was aimed, but at least not on my head! I have felt very fatigued, but have felt some of my strength returning. My regular doctor told me I am anemic from the radiation & suggested I start taking an iron supplement. He was surprised the radiologist had not mentioned this when he remarked that I was anemic as well (The radiologist said he thought it was possibly from the surgery last March). I am also still in need of taking medication for the diarrhea, but that is not as bad as it was either. How wonderful it is to not be going to radiation 5 days a week!

Now the bills are starting to come in...
