Today was my last dose of dexamethasone. Wahoo! This was the medication I was on for brain swelling due to my radiation treatments, and I'm so glad to be done with it. It had been causing me periodic nausea and indigestion like crazy, but I'm finally done with it. I'm still having the weird loss of appetite issue, but it's not something I'm worrying too much about. I'm still eating, in fact I ate a whole bag of salad for lunch today, lol, so I'm eating. Last week I managed to down a lb of organic strawberries. Mmmm, organic strawberries, My appetite is just changing, and so are my tastes. Perhaps the radiation has something to do with that.

Treatment Done!
I completed my cancer treatment yesterday. Yay! I have 28 radiation treatments under my belt, well in my head, and I have the battle wounds to prove it! The burn is pretty bad, but I will be practically bathing in cream now in hopes that it will help. Who knows what will happen with my hair over the next month or so but, meh, it's just hair. You can bet I'll probably be snapping pictures of it and posting here about it, though, if anything interesting happens with it. lol They sent me home with my face mask that I had to wear daily for radiation (see below). What a nice parting gift, eh? So now I wait for my MRI appointment on November 1. But I get to do that at home. In the comfort of my bed. :) I'll miss the nurses at the Lodge, but my bed is a lot comfier, and my kitty shares it with me too. :)
