1st Radiation treatment Feb.19th

Talked to my Radiologist today before treatment . I was telling him that I was feeling pretty good and that I want to try doing more now . I told him that I had talked to some of the other cancer patience and most of them are working , and those who were not working were retired . He looked at me and said that I should talk to the ONE other head tumor case . He is not allowed to work either . He explained that maybe I could if I was just getting radiation but with the addition of the chemo it is not an option . Due to the fact that my immune system will become so low and being around a bunch of people is not a good idea . ( I say BLAH ! ) I am trying to be a good patient but I am starting to go stir crazy . There is only so much boring stuff I am able to come up with . I finish talking with my Dr. and the nurse comes to get me for my treatment . This time I was in and out with in 15 min . It was nice to have the " lizard " marks for about 10 min after the treatment was done instead of an hour or two . I thought it was weird that as soon as I got the 1st zap of radiation I got this weird taste in my mouth . I don't know if it is because every time I get some kinda prick or treatment that I get a weird taste in my mouth . Maybe it is just a side effect of the tumor . Who knows ?
