Unscheduled Freckles

I think I might be losing my favorite therapist... at least temporarily. He is the one that always asks how I'm doing as he's putting The Mask on. He is really nice and has a very empathetic voice. Anyway, he said something that didn't quite register with me until I left the center. He said, "I'll probably see you again." I thought, well yes, I usually see you every day or at least every other day. But I didn't say anything. Then I remembered we were talking the other day about how much he works and he said he's got a vacation coming up. So, hopefully he is about to start that long awaited vacation. He certainly deserves it.

Meanwhile, for me, July is starting and I am more than halfway through treatments, and it looks like I have nine left. I am not completely sure about that because technically my scheduled calendar has me booked up for fourteen more sessions, but I was told that those were booked just in case we needed them.

Saw the doctor today and told him about the Magic Mouthwash debacle. He seemed a bit surprised that my sore throat was gone, and wondered if maybe it was more than the radiation that caused it in the first place. I didn't think so because it wasn't like a normal virus sore throat. Of course Mom attributes the cured sore throat to her prayers.

The doctor didn't note any significant changes in the lump but mentioned that I'm getting a nice tan on my neck... which I have also noticed, along with lots of new freckles.
