Radiation is kicking my ass, and I've had only had three sessions so far. To be completely honest the side effects could be far worse. I am so lethargic, I can barely drag my ass outta bed to the car, sleep the whole way to my appointment, zone out on the way home, and fall asleep on the couch for the rest of the afternoon.
You may be wondering how it is that I'm up right now then? Well, the steroids they have me taking to combat the side effects (namely nausea, vomiting, headaches, what have you) have some side effects of their own. One being that I'm always hungry, and not just hungry for your average bear, hungry for your average bear that's also a defensive lineman.
So the only reason I'm out of bed is so that I can eat, and the only reason I'm not eating laying down in bed, is because I don't want to choke on my food and die ironically.
Though, that would be a big "Fuck You!" to cancer, wouldn't it? Like, hey cancer, this sandwich was able to kill me before you could, you pussy.
