My leukemia's back.

@Cynthia12, well done!

Thank you very much. The clinic extended his treatment to the 10th of this month, instead of the 4th. Soon this will be behind us, by the grace of God

Way to go awesome, keep up the great work .
Radiation was brutal today hubby starting bleeding around trach and neck area.They called me back right away, showed me, how painful. Said to use Vaseline or Aquaphor. He's now resting, but the blood whoa. They called it radiation burn, & that it's not a reaction. Comforting I guess.

I know my mom used aloe vera jell with my dad when he was undergoing radiation and she thought that it helped.

Sure is difficult watching a loved one suffer.

Well, they couldn't get any fluid with my latest stabbing/needle aspiration. Seems like the pockets are turning into scar tissue. It was interesting to watch the screen as the needle was in there - I could feel the tugging and watch how the needle just wouldn't advance into the space. Guess I should be proud of how tough my scar tissue is, right? Probably could deflect bullets.

Anyways, now on to fight the swelling. At least there didn't seem to be signs of infection, just lots of surrounding inflammation. We'll see what my onc says on Thursday.

Hope hubby is not in too much pain and that he tolerates the rest of the treatments without more issues.

All if this new scar tissue... is it making it LESS painful, or MORE painful?

Same painful. Well, at least not more painful. I think if I can get the surrounding swelling down it will be less painful and I will just live with a bag of scar marbles in me for the foreseeable future.

sounds like a plan.

makes the cool minimally invasive radiation treatment a little less impressive. Who knew R2D2 was going to stick marbles in your breast.

I hope you can get the swelling down!
No infection sound good though

Alaskan, Friday thank you. Friday I can't even fathom what you are going through, but I pray you get through this with less pain. Alaskan I'm sorry about your dad it is painful to watch someone suffering and there's nothing you can do, but pray. Thank you once again both of you

AT this point in the game scar marbles without pain seem like a good option. I hope.
