One Week Down, Four to Go

Finished my first week of radiation today and I can sure tell. My hip has been much sorer, even by the weekend. It was really bugging me last night and I had to up the dose of ibuprofen and make sure I stay on top of it. I do remember it getting worse when I did this back in 2008, but then it the pain went away completely. What makes me nervous was the doc's prediction that I would have chronic pain after this. Just how much remains to be seen. So that has me stressed out a little.

The sessions themselves are more trying, too. Lying still when my back hurts for 20 minutes wears me out each morning. Four weeks seems like a long time today.
