It's a wrap. I am finished. Yesterday was my very last day of radiation. As I checked out of The Whitley, it was almost bittersweet. Almost. It was the last day for me to lay on that clinically hard table, take deep breaths on command, and be zapped. My radiation treatments can take 15 minutes to 45. It all depends on how well I behave, LOL. When I am asked to take in a breath, if it is not the perfect amount, I hear commands over the speaker such as: "Let a little out" or "A little more" or "take in more breath" It was actually harder than it sounds. There were days when I got it just right every time and felt like I WON! Most days consisted of multiple tries of holding the right amount of breath in my lungs. So, yesterday when I took in that last breath and the machine began zapping, I was doing the happy dance in my head.
