Radiation Therapy Treatment #10

10 of 20 treatments and second week completed!!!  Yahoo, halfway there!

Once again Stella's discharge summary for the week states:  "No evidence of radiation toxicity at the treatment site at this time".

In the car on the way home Stella seemed really fatigued.  We drove home wondering: are the treatments affecting her, making her tired?  Although we don't notice any change in her skin can she feel something?  Are these long boarding days (like today) starting to stress her?  Is she mad at us?

We arrived at home an hour later and she suddenly became her usual bouncy self; chasing her sister in the yard, carrying her beloved cheesyburger, and wanting to be fed.

Our summary for the halfway mark including initial surgery and Oncologist's consultation: 
  • Mileage = 744.8 miles
  • Highway tolls = $19
  • Trips to the hospital and back = 38 (on the days she is not boarded it is one trip each way; on the days she is boarded, when we go to work, we make 4 trips total)

Stella has the weekend off again and then we start week #3.
