Saw the doctor about the headaches, nausea, and vomiting I am experiencing. He says it is unusual to experience these symptoms so early and so intensely, so he thinks there may be swelling around the tumor. He gave me a prescription for a steroid and he hopes this will take care of it (ME TOO!). I was told that the most common side effects of this type of radiation are swelling in the nasal cavities, burning/sore throat, and peeling skin. Haven't even gotten to those yet... what's that about?
Family and friends have been truly amazing... so kind and supportive. I have a fridge full of food and very happy little girls (who get to go play at a new house every day... and, of course, be doted on and fed yummy things.) For the many of you who have done such kind things for us, please know that "thank you" notes are forthcoming... just as soon as I can see and think straight... which hopefully will come some time before "never". you are all so wonderful and so much appreciated.
