Radiation begins

I had my first radiation treatment yesterday morning and have had the worst headache of my life since then, so severe in fact that the pain has caused me to throw up 3 times. I AM NOT LOVING THIS SO FAR! I now have some medicine for headaches and nausea and hope it will help. The technicians were surprised that I become sick so quickly, but this is such a rare type of tumor that I just don't think they know what to expect. The treatments themselves are not too bad, but the aftermath is no fun at all. I was told that my situation will be reevaluated at 3 1/2 weeks, so perhaps the treatments won't last as long as originally thought. That's what we're praying.

Thank you all so much for your love and support.
