End of Treatments! Now the wait for the results.


Hello everyone! On Thursday June the 10, I had my last radiation treatment! I will not miss getting the daily shots, or the sensation of being strapped down with a tongue depressor between my teeth for 20 to 40 minutes a day. I would like to thank everyone that has visited my blog for updates, prayed for me, or just sent me positive thoughts. I have been lucky to have a great support group as well as receiving support from unexpected people and places. In the month leading up to my CT scan, I will be attempting to get back to normal. My energy levels will get better, and I will not be wiped out from walking down a flight of stairs. My biggest challenge and something that I am looking forward to is getting my taste buds back! I have been torturing myself and got hooked on the Food Network! Since everything taste like wet paper, I have been collecting recipes and testing them out on Jess (She would not tell me if they are bad or not…just yet). Once I can taste just one thing, I am going to probably burn myself out on that food quickly since I have had nothing but ensure shakes for the past Month! I will keep the blog updated with progress and recipes.

  1. Tony, I am so glad for you! We at SRIC talk about you (are your ears burning?) and send our good wishes your way. Joined your exclusive club myself & am having surgery tomorrow to remove my thyroid. I should be back at work in 2 weeks, so I'll be back in time for your CT scan. You are my hero! Lynne
