After a long couple of weeks I finished my ten fractions of full brain radiation. I must say I have never been so fatigued in my life; however it is understandable since the radiation fatigue has just been added to post craniotomy recovery and the constant fatigue from the immunotherapy drug. It was with great relief I hit the gong signifying the end of treatment with both my mask and the gong stick. I got quite the applause after my performance.
The next month will be slow recovery with lots of rest needed with a return to see my trio of doctors in mid April.
I kept my goalie mask as a souvenir. Perhaps it will become part of the bonker tree at the cottage? A face like that should be able to ward off evil spirits???
While in London Rob and I took the opportunity to go to a store specializing in head covers for women losing their hair. I bought a couple of cute scarves and turbans and tried on some wigs for fun. It will be awhile before my head is ready for a wig but it is important to come to terms with losing one's hair and being prepared. I was able to attend the Look Good Feel Good Workshop at Wellspring this week. Not only is the workshop informative it is hands on and you come away with a treasure trove of make up products that have been donated to the program.
