33 To Go!

I can see this countdown will quickly get old. The whole radiation process is just like an x-ray. I change into the sweet robes, wait in the creepy waiting room where there is always a puzzle, they line me up on the table, zap me, and I go home. Its very short, and very easy. Wednesdays are doctor days, so they will take a bit longer. My favorite part is the puzzle because I love puzzles, but I'm annoyed with other people working on it as well because they just slow me down. One lady yesterday kept celebrating when she put 2 pieces together. "Those two fit!" I think she needs more in her life. I do like talking to the others in the waiting room, though. They're silent, but I tend to just start asking questions. They're probably annoyed with me, but oh well. One lady has had a rough trip with an oncologist she wasn't thrilled with, and a lot of miscommunication. She was told she wouldn't need radiation, then after she was done with chemotherapy and thought she was all done, they told her she would have to do it after all. That would be very frustrating to feel like you're at the end only to find out you have more stuff. The more I talk to her, the better I feel about the decisions I made as far as surgery, and the more confident I feel in my doctors. She's doing well now, but has definitely had a hard time.
