One week and counting

I hope that I didn't give the impression in my last post that things are going horribly.  They're really not that bad.  Not as bad as the worst from chemo, and even that wasn't as bad as I had feared.  And I've discovered a few things that are helping.  Black tea with honey, as long as I let it cool down a bit before drinking.  Ibuprofen.  And yes I did make a batch of vanilla ice cream and OMG I had forgotten just how amazing it is.

I think the thing that's gotten me somewhat disappointed is that on the macro scale, all of this is a bit of a step back.  I had gotten used to feeling pretty good, and it kind of sucks to have to go through some more of feeling not so good.  I want to be looking forward.

That having been said, I've got just one more week of radiation treatment left.  5 more doses.  I'm very much looking forward to it being over.  Even if I will need to recuperate a bit before celebrating too hard.
