jelizaToday was the intro to radiation appointment - so no actual radiation, but CT scans and breathing exercises and now I have 4 dots tattoed on me for calibration. I did not do that well with the kind of pain involved on the tattoo-ing front, which makes the tat I've been waiting to do for 15 years even less likely. And one is dead center in my cleavage like a black freckle.
Expected side effects are skin damage (like a sun burn) and .. wait for it ... Fatigue! Ugh. I guess I should try to get as much as possible done in the 2 weeks before treatment actually starts.
