Sunday radiation

Got up early and went with Rayleene to GJ for her radiation treatment. She was first treatment, and before she was finished, approximately 20 minutes, there were already 5 people who were there for treatment. One lady, Rayleene told me, is not able to have a port put in under her collar bone for the Chemo, they have to put her out each time, and find a different vein to put the treatment into.

Rayleene seems to be fine, a bout with constipation, but was only for a day,she is tired, but no other ill effects, as of yet. Second chemo treatment will be on Tuesday, then they are back on schedule for Monday's. Five weeks of this and then a stronger chemo treatment one day every three weeks for a period of 9 weeks. She will also have to be in the hospital for two days twice during this time, where they will directly implant radiation beads into the cervix not sure when that will occur. The cost of travel to and from GJ, is high, even with my car. Good thing is that Bill has a job with the Water Users. One day at a time is all we can do, take one day at a time.
