CHEMO vs RADIATION

it's like alien vs preditor........i mean who really wins out

in my book (and it is my opinion) radiation WINS.......IT KICKED MY ASS INTO THE NEXT WORLD....CHEMO IS A PIECE OF CAKE COMPARED TO RADIATION (AT LEAST THE STUFF I WENT THROUGH....................STILL REELING 4 WEEKS PAST MY LAST RAD....ONE SESSION OF CHEMO WENT SOOOOOOOOOOO SMOOTH (LIKE THE TOP OF MY HEAD) SESSION 2 TOMORROW.........OVER AND OUT

CHEMO-SABI

NEXT STEP

it is one of the wonders of the world what the human brain can withstand......up until now i kinda took him for granted.....just something i carried under my hat.............gave it credit for witty comments and blamed him for the dumb stuff coming out of my mouth.......about the worst thing to happen to it was when you ate ice cream to fast and it went numb........

well i now declare April national Brain month.........so when your combing your hair (lucky you mines gone again)......think of what's underneath and smile.......it does everything for you.............even makes you smile................go on smile i will wait..............felt good i bet.........pat yourself on the head thank the old brain for keeping you going......i will never take mine for granted again

RADIATION........

ummmm.trying to think of something clever to say about this subject...bottom line...it SUCKS...YEAH THAT'S IT...IT REALLY SUCKS...oh and my doctor (who is excellent has just ordered 7 more treatments on the back of my head ..did not even offer me a menu...just placed the order with the radiologist....oh well i hope desert is at least in the chocolate form.......................

the treatments only last 5 minutes...but wow what a zap to the brain......................oh feel a list coming on...top 6 reasons to get radiation

1. you know how hoody doody felt

2. perfect the art of drooling (extra saliva comes with it)

3. short term memory loss has it's advantages

4.short term memory loss has it's advantages (oops)

5.wearing the same pajama's every day is quite liberating

6.feeling like you have been in you grandpa's still all day...priceless.........

till next time....peace......
