1 Week of Radiation & Some Hair

So my hair is starting to come back! It'd be nice if it was growing a little faster, but oh well. I also haven't shaved all week, just for fun and to enjoy having hair, but I'll probably shave it off before church tomorrow. On Tuesday I started radiation close here at the American Fork clinic. It's nice not to have to go up to Salt Lake anymore! Radiation hasn't been bad at all, it's quick each day ea and so far I haven't noticed any side effects. Maybe I'm a little more tired but not a whole lot. Each day I go in and lie on a table that moves me under a machine. There are laser lights that come out of the ceiling and walls so they can line my body up in the same spot each day. The lights line up with marks made with permanent markers on my chest and sides. Then the machine shoots concentrated x-rays into me from two different angles and then I'm done. I'm usually in and out of the place in less than ten minutes. I'll do this every weekday for about a month; it'll be 20 treatment times total. They say it might give me a sore throat in the latter weeks, but so far I've felt fine.

It's also been really nice lately to be able to get out of the house more! I've been able to hang out with my friends a lot more lately and go to church on Sundays too. I wanna go see a movie soon also. Nothing in particular, I just haven't been to a movie theater in a long time! I know in May there are a bunch of movies I'm really looking forward to, but I'm not sure if there is anything good out now or during April... I'll have to check!
