# 3

Treatment went as the other two have and so nothing exciting to report...EXCEPT...met another lady in the dressing room and she is half way through her 6 weeks of radiation.  She LOVED my hair and asked me how many treatments I had left.  We visited for quite awhile and we discovered that we both have watery eyes and figure it is from the chemo.  Interesting.  Then she shared that she was afraid to take her hormone therapy pills.  I was able to share that I also am on hormone therapy and not to be afraid.  Nice.  I got to help and encourage someone today.  She was very bubbly and chatty and we carried on quite a conversation.  It continued out to the waiting room where Mark was.  We go out there in our gowns and wait for out turn so she was in her gown and I was on my way out the door (fully dressed in my own clothes).
I noticed another lady in a different waiting room and I thought that I remembered her and it in fact was her.  She has been diagnosed with double lung cancer and it has gone to her brain! Yikes! Another moment of gratitude for me.
Today there was a man in the waiting room with me.  He will be done with his treatments on Monday.  He has prostate cancer.  He and Mark had quite a little visit while I stared blankly at the cooking show on the tv over head.
By the time I am done with these treatments I will be able to find my way out of that place.  The girls that work the machine that zaps me tell me to follow the daisy pictures but I can never find any daisy pictures after the first one... There is a whole community behind the scenes.  I think I have stumbled across most of it trying to find my way out of my assigned space.
# 4 tomorrow.  So far so good :)
