Treatment Day 5

Well, I had quite a day. Went to treatment this am all happy and positive. It was a little early though -7:30. They had to reposition a few times to get me relatively pain free, did my regular treatment and out the door I went. I did wake up again this am with a large "lump" feeling in my throat - I am sure it is swelling. After treatment my tongue was feeling fairly numb and is now very white. yuk.
Anywho - I was developing another H/A like yesterday. So when I got home i took a pill and laid down for about 20min before going to work. It seemed to be a little better so off I went. After getting to work it slowly started to increase in intensity and i didn't have any meds at work. Bummer. By around 2pm in the middle of clinic it was so bad I started having N/V. Needless to say I was about worthless-So thanks a bunch to Dr. hall and Angie for putting up with me and pickin up the slack. AND Rob for bringing my meds to me. I got them through the worst of clinic and headed home. This is really Tickin me off!!! So I called radiation doc at the urging of my friend and he said this could be from the treatments and started me on a low dose steroid---GREAT now I am going to blow up like a balloon!! Just what I need! Well I suppose I will do just about anything to not have another one of those things. It was bad. This may also help the big golf ball in my throat in the Am's. So came home, got more meds and off to bed!! Feel SOOOOO much better now- Better not have to do that again or someone or something is going on my s--t list ... BIG TIME!!! So, now I am off to do my mouth treatments and my 30min Walk with Chesney. Tomorrow will be an amazingly better day i am sure!!:-)
