Meditating during radiation

When I start my radiation in the morning, the machine begins and I immediately go into meditation mode and prayers.

 I chat with the technicians then they leave the room and the machine starts. I close my eyes and immediately begin with a prayer. "Father God, please help the technicians and doctor to rid my body of this cancer, make the area safe to never grow cancer back again and just eliminate any traces of cells that carry the mean cancer. The machine rotates, I watch the tech's rotate out radiation panels on the maachine and then it begins again. I meditate to envision the cancer flowing out of my body. They change radiation panels again and then I say another prayer while looking at the beautiful sky and tree mural on the ceiling. I ask Father God to keep walking with me , hold my hand, shoulder and arm to  know HE is there and to even carry me and make footprints in the sand on and in the hard moments ahead of me. I thank Him for my friends and familial you while they walk me through this. 

I always walk out of there with a great feeling that this is working. I am being healed! Thank YOU all for being there for me and my family. Day 11 of 33 treatments today. 

Radiation start and dental issues

I was told to expect Radiation to be easy in the beginning. Well, they were right. I was surprised as I started my first session of 33 today. It took me longer to drive there and back home than the treatment time took. Haha

 I was on the table at 8:20 and done in 20 minutes. Tomorrow should be even shorter of a time since they took a few extra images today. 

I stopped at Wally World and got my Cerave cream and aquaphor lotion. I am to put these on three times a day. 

This past week I noticed a change in one of my teeth's fillings. I went into the dentist yesterday expecting to get a new filling, but instead I left with a temporary crown. I cracked my filling and my tooth. I also cracked the filling/tooth in front of the first cracked tooth. Great. Now I need one crown and another soon. I was also told I  missing a filling top on an older crown that had a root canal done years back. In order to remedy these bad teeth issues I need to get a night guard made. I resisted the idea of a mouth guard for years due to my grinding of my teeth. 

Can you say this was an expensive week?! Haha
