I don't think I mentioned a couple of things from my last appointment.  If I did and you have already heard this before, deal with it lol
Hey Doc, "Why did I lose some of my hair after radiation when you said I would not?" ,,, Doc says "We don't know.  After 500 people receiving cyberknife radiation here, only about 5 have lost hair, your hair must just be sensitive".  hummmmm
Hey Doc "Why did I puke my brains out until my toenails came up through my mouth and my neck swelled up like a bull frog?  You said this would not happen.  Did the radiation hit areas it should not have?"  Doc says "We don't know why.".. hummmm.
I ponder these questions.  I still have swelling in and around the tumour area.  This is causing quite a bit of  pain and discomfort for me now.  
Hey Doc, "Why do I have swelling around the tumour 1 1/2 yrs after having radiation?"  Doc says, "We don't know. But hopefully this should diminish. It is not normal for this to still be happening but it should be better by 2 yrs".  hummmm..
As of today, it feels so much worse and I'm not sure if there is anymore room for swelling.
Anyway,,, my blog for the day.  Obviously not feeling that great, but as I always say, nothing a good glass of wine can't fix :)

I lost chunks of hair after my cyberknife, but I don't know that they ever asked me, so I don't think I'm included in one of those 5!

I'm sorry that you're not getting the answers you're looking for. Sending good thoughts your way!
