Sleeping & waiting to hear from the clinic about the latest xrays. Still in quite a bit of pain but not totally unbearable. Went from a 9 to a 7. Sometimes it wanders back to 8 on the 1-10 scale.

Off to get my mapping done for my radiation treatments in a couple of hours.

Good luck.
Do they have to plant little pieces of gold to help steer that beam?
When I got radiation treatment for my prostrate cancer they planted five little pieces of gold and then it was radiation five days a week for nine weeks and got mighty tiresome. Will you have to have that many?

Yes, they do Pecos. I have a very small nodule on each lung which are too small for a biopsy, but since I once was a heavy smoker, we are assuming it is cancer. So, they will zap each one for a couple of weeks and pray that ends it. I'll only need 5 treatments on each lung, every other day for 4 weeks total. The mapping was tedious though and being wrapped in that hot cocoon wasn't pleasant at all. Did not like the diaphragm belt either at first, but once my breathing regulated, it was ok.

I sure doesn't sound like you had "any more fun" than I did, but we are still both upright.

Lets hope that the cancer treatments are efficient. The center that I went to was most impressive in its efficiency.

Will you have to have hormone therapy as well? The women that I have talked to did not like it any better than I did.

I will put in a good word for you with the almighty.

No, Pecos, I don't need hormone therapy for this.

Thank you, I appreciate your mentioning me to the Almighty.
 
Took Bella to board and train, then grocery shopping and now getting ready for my walk although I’d prefer a nap. Tomorrow I have my next diagnostic mammogram and the see the surgeon. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Forgot to add yesterday it was sunny and 80 degrees, today it’s 39 and snowing 🙄.
 
Putting up with more crap from the FMLA company our employer uses. Still waiting for word about Friday's xrays. Jumping through hoops to get paperwork filled out and faxed off...keeping employer in the loop while I hurry up and wait.

Hopefully sleeping some more. Rough night last night.
 
Can you make an appointment for your hair or do you have to wait until the 12th.

When we could finally get our hair done, my hairdresser had a few days of ‘remembering’ her skills and how to work with a mask on both of us. Turned out fine.
 
Mowed the front yard, will trim later this week.
I...Hate...to...Mow! It ranks right up there with Painting ( inside walls type ).
Most times, my youngest does the mowing but with his job and new house, he's pretty busy.
No Neighborhood kids mow anymore; guess I'll find a lawn service. ☹️
 
Doing a bit of cleaning. Called the auto shop to drop off my car for repairs tomorrow. These old cars are always needing repairs aren't they. Enjoying a nicer weather day. That's about it except for playing youtube relaxing music videos.
 
Spent the morning running errands. Fixed and ate a roast beef and cheddar sandwich and then went for a motorcycle ride. Got home and put all the fixings for ham and bean soup in the pot, using Hurst's HamBeens (mix of 15 types of beans). We've a lot of Easter ham left over. April is a good time of year for ham & beans soup as the weather is such you can open the windows for fresh air without cooling down the house too much.:)

Today after walking the dogs my husband discovered he got his veterans ID card which means he doesn’t ever have to purchase a fishing licence again. He’s very happy about that.

We then went out shopping at Costco where we purchased some new clothes for traveling and for when we get to our new house.

When we got home we had chicken salad sandwiches with potato salad and this yummy mouse with flavoured macaroons. It’s soooo good.
