Happy National Chocolate Milkshake Day!

| I celebrated. |
(Thanks to Catherine Scott Martin for calling attention to this totally absurd holiday!)
After a personal blowout celebrating NCMD, I headed off to my first radiation treatment. I was there for about an hour -- and the first 20 minutes were spent in the waiting room! To receive the radiation, I lay on a hard, flat table for 20 minutes while a machine circled around me. There weren't any visible beams, so it is really unimaginable that this machine, that didn't even touch my body, can so certainly kill cancer cells. I guess I'm a pretty sensory driven person. I think I expected to see flashing beams of light hitting me. Anyway, thus far, I feel the same. As usual, I'll be looking forward to a side effect or two just to "prove" to me that the treatment is working. I'll be heading back to UCSF tomorrow afternoon for round 2!

I hardly think you can call National Chocolate Milkshake Day absurd! Sounds like a brilliant holiday to me :).
ReplyDeleteGood luck on round 2 tomorrow.
Glad you were able to start with a celebratory drink :) Good job to Jonathan for the snapshot!
