It seems that I have been going back and forth to the Radiation Oncology Center forever. I know by looking at the calendar that it has really been 39 days and not 365.

This past week I have been arriving at three in the afternoon for my treatment. This seems to be a shift change time. One day its Kim and Ven.  The next it is Dave. Then it is Kim and Jeff the physicist. One day it was Ven and Annette. At least we are all friends and are able to joke a little as they align me to the PU-36.

If it wasn't for these wonderful Technicians and JR, Fuzzy would find it difficult to continue on. No, I don't mean Fuzzy would have quit, I mean Fuzzy would find it difficult to get out and go everyday. The fatigue causes Fuzzy to be stuck to his couch napping every chance he gets.  That couch calls his name anytime he is away from it.

Fuzzy is finding himself quite cranky at times. I get comments about how I am almost finished and how someone they knew went through worse. Personally at these moments Fuzzy doesn't give a damn. Fuzzy is only concerned with Fuzzy and what he is going through. I do not know if I am almost finished. I won't know until after we do a blood test and get the PSA results and even then Fuzzy has no idea if the number will start to go back up. To Fuzzy it is like looking into a hole and he cannot see the bottom yet. Hopefully I am one of 97% successes, but I also know I could be one of the 3% failures and have to go a whole other route. Fuzzy just doesn't really know.

All of the people at the Radiation Center keep Fuzzy upbeat. JR is a tremendous help and while I am in their company things are all positive. But at night and on the weekends when Fuzzy is alone his mind conjures up all kinds of things. What ifs run through his thoughts and I have some doubts and concerns that most people cannot understand. JR can, but most cannot. So Fuzzy spends time while awake writing articles like the postings about the birds and Fuzzy has been invited to submit articles to another website. These activities keep Fuzzy's mind occupied and on another track for awhile.

Fuzzy also appreciates all of the positive energy you, my readers, project to me. I cannot fully express the appreciation I feel for each of you.

Next - Fuzzy is coming out of turn four and heading for the checkered flag!
