Today we meet the Radiation Oncologist
So today we meet our Radiation Oncologist: Dr. Louis Constine. I imagine the meeting will go pretty well. I have not seen Dr. Constine since May 2003, but he was very nice and knowledgeable.
I am a little nervous though. I think it is just because it is something new and my imagination is already running away with thoughts and ideas of how things are going to be.
I know I will be radiated in some part of my neck. So one of my fears is that the radiation will cause my throat to swell or get very sore and I won’t be able to eat or drink. I have a hard enough time keeping up on my fluids as it is. The reason being is that most things still taste like crap. 
If my throat gets swollen/sore on top of that … well I am just worried it will put me back in the hospital because I am dehydrated or something.
It’s silly .. but I am more afraid of getting hooked up to an IV now than that Radiation Therapy. I can taste everything that is injected in me now. Whether it was my port (which is gone) or my arm, hand, etc … just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach.
I am hoping in time that feeling will pass. Needles, IV’s, etc never bothered me before. I guess I am just tired of them.
Some more good news! I wake up every morning and my Peloton Project total goes up!
