Last Day WBR treatment
Atlas, today was my last and final round of my 15th day of whole brain radiation treatment. This was the day I was waiting for since 3 weeks ago when I first started. Yay! I made it. At the end of my treatment, I was given a certificate of Congratulations of completion. I was so happy to be done with this. Anymore treatment, my head would be literally toasted, fried, burned and baked for sure. I'm so glad to be done. I jumped for joy and thanked the radiation nurses and team. Goodbye mask, good bye and good riddance chlorine smell and blinding blue light!
Today's treatment went fairly smooth where I tried hard to not gag and have another repeat episode of yesterday's incident; although I almost did, but because I ate some candy before treatment, it worked . Afterwards, I met with the Doctors to go over the healing and recovery process. Dr. Gibbs gave me some care tips on how to care for my hairless, balding scalp and told me that in 2-4 weeks, the fatigue should wear off. She also mentioned that in 3 months, I will do another brain MRI to see the effectiveness of this WBR treatment. Then, after the 3 months, from then out, if everything is good, my routine brain MRI will be spread out to every 6 months. Let's hope my next brain MRI will be clean and good for the long term. I'll be praying so hard for positive results.
So, as promised, below are some pictures of me in my new "hair do". What do you think? Black or light brown with blond highlights? I told myself, if I have to wear a wig, I might as well have fun with it. I may pick up one more 100% human hair wig tomorrow to add to my collection so that I can easily change my style and look for variety. Lots of Love.
