Today I got to ring the bell that signified that I was done with radiation. Sam came with me today and took a picture of me with my radiation techs. I will try to post the pics tomorrow during my second round of chemo. I brought brownies to the techs as a thank you, and people waiting their turn for chemo clapped to celebrate with me. It's great to feel that another part of the cancer treatment is over. I took with me the foam board that I laid down on each time I was irradiated to keep me aligned properly. It'll be one of my show-and-tell pieces.
I was hesitant to go to my image recovery center appointment. I thought that Sandy would want me to shave my hair today, especially with that bald spot in the front, and I have to admit that I'm not ready for that. There's still quite a bit of hair behind my ears with the hat on. You'll see in the pic, although much less than last Friday. It was a relief to receive no pressure from Sandy, and she was able to style the wig with the hair that's left. It was particularly windy today, but I didn't feel like it would blow away. I have 2 bobby pins in the back. I think that I still have to get used to the color myself. I have on the black one that I got recently now at the library.
So the second round of chemo is tomorrow. Although there hasn't been a problem in the past, I hope they find a good vein easily. Today, when the woman drew my blood, she admitted that she used the large holed needle on me because she saw all the previous punctures. I don't think that she needed to use such a big one though. I need people with more experience! I've got excellent veins!! Don't ruin them because I need them for more chemo treatments.
