I started radiation treatment today. This will be my record of this.
During my intake yesterday, I had a bad interaction with another patient. As I sat waiting, an older dude exited one of the other rooms and sat by me. I could feel his negative energy.
Him: This is why people commit suicide. This medical crap
My dude. That is not an untrue statement, but I am sitting in a medical gown in a cancer center. Read the motherfucking room. I do not have time for that shit. I already know the bad stuff happening. I already know the peril on this path. Don’t fucking remind me. So I sat there silently, put up with him making bad jokes about my “dress” and then happily went back for my session when called. I am sorry he is not happy, but I cannot carry every burden.
I saw him briefly today, and he seemed happier. Good for him. Other random thoughts:
- I was in and out in good time. Hopefully that is a good sign
- I even fell asleep a little on the table
- I was home by 10:10 and in PJ bottoms before 11
- Working out at 6 a.m. worked today. We will see on future days
- Still no real hormone shot reactions
- Hit the coffee shop in Dillsburg on the way home. Will mix it up with that, convenience stores, Dunkin and the one in Abbottstown
