Day 3 of Radiation

All is still going well. My radiation today was so much easier. It took about 30 minutes today because of more xrays. Tomorrow and after I should be in and out within 20 minutes. After my treatment I saw the doctor and he was happy about how things are going so far. Last night was my first dose of chemotherapy and I have not had any reaction to it. Tonight was my third dose and I really thought there should be some symptoms or something. I'm really hoping and praying that this will be the normal reaction for me. NOTHING!!! Robbin and I have been to the grocery store everyday. It's pretty funny that we need so many little things, salt, pepper, flour, sugar, coffee creamer, etc. I do believe we don't have to go tomorrow. Meals have been just like home, well kind of. We just don't have as big a kitchen and cupboards aren't stocked like home. Robbin is still a good cook and is making sure I have some good meals. I'm not sure I want him to go home. That means I would have to do all the cooking, laundry and driving. Really, he has been so very helpful and I will miss him. He is planning on coming back the last week I am here. That will be nice. This afternoon I was able to start binding on a project that is the most beautiful quilt I've made. I'll be hand sewing on it probably until I go home. Hopefully it will be done by then. Good night all and hope your day tomorrow is good. I know mine will be. God is good!!
