Reeka's blog: "Cancer stuffs"

Today I went to do my radiation simulation and get all set up for starting next Monday. Daily treatments, 5 days a week for 6 weeks... the good news is they say I shouldn't feel the side effects until around week 4, and they should be over with by a week or two after they're done. But I've been also recommended to see a shrink as well as potentially massage therapy - and since I've already met my max out of pocket for the year, the insurance is supposed to pay 100%! And also for a nutritionist to go over a high protein diet that should help, but can also sneak in some weight loss tips for after my treatments are done (they've asked me to stop trying to lose weight for the next couple months so the side affects don't hit me even worse). I only got 2 hours of sleep last night, worrying about today and the possibility of uprooting the family if my hubby goes for this job in MA. I was able to get about 1.5 hours of nap in, but I'm about to drop.
