1 down!!!

Who said one didn't count??!? Well it counts a lot for me! I am down 1 treatment and have 29 more to go!!! As I stated earlier this morning, Joe and my mom went with me, while the kids were with my younger sister Emily. Once I arrived they quickly took me back, (I once again didn't even sit in the waiting room) Joe and my mom went with me. We went right to my treatment room where they had everything set up. Joe put the mixes that John and Kate had made for me on his ipod, so when I got there I was able to plug it into this stereo. There would be NO way I could wear ear phones. They made some adjustments to my mask, so it's pretty tight. Joe and my mom stayed in the room while they bolted me to the table. I began to cry, such an unreal situation. Prior to being bolted Joe and my mom both came over and kissed me. I think it was pretty difficult for both of them to watch as well. Once I was bolted in, they both went back to the waiting room. The radiation therapists got me set up and took some xrays before beginning, once they had the pictures taken my radiation oncologist Dr. Gaspar came in to check the machine to ensure everything was as it should be. Once they began it took about 20 minutes, 4 songs! Other than the mask being tight, it didn't hurt at all, I didn't see anything or feel anything. Once I was done, my mom Joe and I all met with the Dr.'s I think I did a good job of relaying the same message the Dr.'s did, however I was glad that Joe and my mom had a chance to meet them and ask questions.
I have felt pretty good today, I have had a pretty upset stomach and have been a little tired. I don't know if this is because of the treatment or just because emotionally this has been such a difficult thing.
I am so glad day 1 is over, looking forward to doing a blog saying I have 1 day left. But like I said this morning, you have to start to finish. I'm relieved to have started!!
