Well, I have two days left of radiation. That is amazing. I just wont know what to do with myself...it will feel like I got back a few hours of my life everyday. I'm sure I'll find a way to spend it. The raspy smoker voice is back. I shouldn't have sung yesterday...

Today went so easy. I really thought I heard the doctor say that today would be like an hour, but I was wrong. More like 20 minutes. I got there, checked in. Lisa picked out several magazines to occupy her time since I told her it would be an hour or so. The lady...
