treatment 1 done!

I'm baaaack!  
Mark and I had a little lunch before my treatment at the little snack bar at the cancer institute.  Yummy chicken with wild rice soup.  I got to swipe my little card and walked in like I knew what I was doing except I didn't know where I was going until I saw 'women's dressing room'.  Mark went in with me and we got to know the lay of the land :)  
There were lots of x-rays taken and finally I was given my treatment.  No it didn't hurt and I didn't feel a thing except tired from holding my arms up.  The left side of my chest is all marked up and I am guessing that is where they 'zapped' me.  I was told that my immune system will not be as compromised as it was with the chemo but to try to stay away from people with colds or that are sick in any way.  So pretty much the same as when I was going through chemotherapy.
I was also asked to kiss my grand babies on the top of their heads if they have the sniffles and not their precious little faces. 
Tomorrow I go in at 11:45.  I will be bouncing around for awhile until I settle in at 10:15.  I think that starts on Thursday.  
Will report in manana.
