One Day Left

One last treatment left and it couldn’t come soon enough. The side effects from radiation are in full swing and Sandy is dealing with almost constant nausea as well as pain in her esophagus and back. This affects her appetite, makes it difficult to swallow and, oddly, creates frequent hiccups. The hiccups are common and there is nothing they can do for it. It's just odd to Sandy to be getting them all the time. Insomnia seems to be another side effect. Just one last shot of radiation left to do tomorrow. They tell us that the side effects will lag and may take a couple of weeks to resolve. But there is just one day left. At least then she won’t have to drive downtown every day for treatment and spend hours waiting for five minutes of treatment...and then things can start to get a little better.
