The radiation is starting to have some side effects. It has starting to cause a burn. I have some lotion that I have been using that seems to be helpful. It is not too overbearing yet, but definitely a pain in the ass!! LOLMr. Halligan says it is going to get worse before it will get better.
I got my chemo bag changed out on Tuesday. I think they finally fixed the battery problem with the pump. They changed out the pump and so far it has gone 2 days without the battery going dead, which is way better than the 1 day they were lasting.
I got one of my EOB’s for the radiation treatments, looks like it is $5000 each time I go in. Ouch, for 15 minutes of treatment. Then they do regular x-rays once a week, which I think is adding another $3000. So it looks like $168,000 just for the radiation treatment. The bill so far is at $72,000 with only 2 radiation treatments included, thank goodness I have insurance, even if it is not the best.
Other than the sore bum, I am feeling pretty good. I still have been able to go biking, although I tread a little lighter now.
