I had my radiation treatment yesterday for the cancer that had moved to my spine. I had every intention of writing a long blog post about it…but, I’m just home now. It’s 7:45 pm and I’m pooped.
I’m okay. Everyone treated me wonderful…but I’m super tired. I don’t know if it was the treatment, the drive, or the stress of it all.
I’ll tell you more about it in an upcoming blog post. For now, I’m headed to bed and hoping to wake up feeling much better.
Here is a proof of life picture. I’m toting the pin they gave me for going through radiation.
I feel like a cheat and undeserving of the pin. So many have gone through the full gamut of radiation and I just did one big dose.
I’m thankful I’m on the other side of this. Let the healing begin!!
Hope you can take it easy today and give yourself chance to rest and recuperate. I think probably a combination of all the things have had a massive impact on your feeling so tired. Thanks for letting us know. We’re thinking of you.
Everyone reacts differently to chemo and radiation, so don’t feel like a cheat! The most important thing is to take time for yourself and don’t fret about the blog. I know if there’s not a post when I visit that there will be the next time. Now put your feet up, rest and don’t feel the least but guilty about it. Hugs to you!
A brother in law had radiation for testicular cancer and also drove himself to and from treatments early AMs then went to his office upper level administration with only the ins. dept. The wiser and said he should have let people drive him at least part of the trips and would advise others to have help due to the exhaustion. Only telling this because he stressed about the fatigue. Please take care.
Give yourself permission to rest. Yes radiation can exhaust you.
Glad that’s finally over for you. Always good to sleep when you are tired.
Glad it’s over with. Get some rest, my friend. We’ll be here ;-)
Love and prayers

Thinking of you Jo, and hoping you feel better in the morning. The stress of treatment and then the actual day may have contributed to feeling so tired after it was done. Start with a fresh start in the morning.
