I will get Radiated Nest week

My sister Shirley and I. approx 1944. Mama knew I loved the brother's uniforms, she made this one for  me.  My first Uniform.

so today:

 No one has told me the details of GETTING ready for serious radiation. Today was very interesting. I actually got lost and dragged my sweetheart probably a 1/2 to 3/4 mile to find the Cancer clinic, I must have tried 6 LOCKED doors at the hospital today. A sweet lady, and employee, walked us a long ways to get us there.

Afterchecking in we had a conversation with a couple. The man was there for his cancer treatment. I told them what I had, Merkel Corsinoma,  The man across from us said his dad died of Merkel.  He also said Terry Bradshaw  suffered from Merkal Cell  in 2022 and was still alive doing well and working.

They called me in, discouraging Sherry from coming with me.  It was a interesting time. I was in two  big pieces of circular  machines. Using a piece of some hot material, that looked sorta like a thick net, placing it over my face, They made a mask (copy) of my face. 4 techs and a dr. drew on my face with a black sharpie several times;  slipped me in and out of each machine a couple times.   There was a lot of discussion about my eye.  They decided to apply some liquid EYE covering vs lead to protect the eye.  They said they would explain it the day of my appt.

Some of you  have went thru this and now I know how to sympathize. ;-)

Believe it or not, they did not offer to, nor remove the black marks on my face.  The dismissal guy said it would fade away with washing.

I asked Sherry if she would be embarrassed to grocery shop with me?  Her answer, "We will go home before shopping. LOL  (The folks getting out of the elevator did look at me funny, as they stared at my face. LOL)>

Son Mark brought in a Pizza for dinner so I did not have to cook.

Oatmeal for breakfast in the morning and methinks I will do one of the hamburger helper meals for dinner.

I appreciate any suggestions of easy breakfast meals or dinner meals.
