Hello,
I completed my first radiation treatment yesterday. It was a walk in the park in comparision to the chemo. It is amazing to me that that machine sends out rays that cannot be seen or felt yet it kills the cancer cells. How does it really work? I am so glad that God gave brilliant minds to those doctors and scientists that have perfected the machines and drugs that treat cancer.
The staff at the cancer center in Encinitas are very caring and kind. I am blessed that not only is it closer to home but the staff is as nice as those at Moores Caner Center at UCSD. I took a batch of chocolate Chip Cookies to endear myself to them to make sure they remember me. LOL
Rick is taking advantage of our overcast morning and is washing my car while the sun is not shining on it. He is the greatest!!
So my life scheduled by my standing 3:15 appointment for radiation each day. One down and 32 to go.
In His awesome grip,
Kathy

PS. Our day trip to Big Bear on Friday was great. It is a 2 hour ride from home and is a mini Lake Tahoe with a beautiful 7 mile long lake and pine trees. The little village is quaint and has lots of cute shops and resturants. We took a side trip on the way home and drove to see Arrowhead Lake. it is a smaller more populated lake, but the same natural surroundings. Beauty is just a short drive from home.
Speaking of Tahoe, thanks Carol and Michael for the ever present reminder each treatment day of "Onward Christian Soldiers". It is comforting to know that you are near with your thoughts yet far away in miles. You are great friends!!!
So glad you got to the mountains. We enjoy Big Bear and Arrowhead also. Your comment of 1 down, 32 more to go reminded me of "99 bottles of beer on the wall"...maybe you could adapt that ditty. May God continue to bless you on your journey.
