Radiotherapy turns off the brain

When they started to do radiation therapy they told me I would experience fatigue, nausea, hair fall, feel a certain weakness... So far so good because after all, they were bombarding my brain with radiation right? I imagine (I do this a lot.... kkkk...) that it something like this... Mini atomic bombs directly on the head... Hahaha ...

Anyway... I felt all the effects and more... Every time I did the sessions I came out almost blind, I could barely see... It was all scrambled... I felt a mega confusion... Hahaha... Okay... In my case more confusion... Thankfully, in the first sessions I was hospitalized... And the other sessions I had a private driver, who was hired for me wonderful friends... Thank God the driver is great... Quiet, off and made me very comfortable (http://fabio.arruda.blog.uol.com.br/)... What was essential to complete this heavy phase .

Well, I thought I was normal, slow, but normal... Hahahaha... But I wasn’t .... RADIATION THERAPY IN THE HEAD TURNS THE BRAIN OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!! (... Just the radio on head... Not the other radios... Hihihi…)

This week the end of sessions of radio terminated and I realized that the brain began to actually work again... It's weird realize that... I started to remember things... I started to remember processes I had to do... I remembered that birthdays... Body's temperature is coming back normal... Blood pressure is coming back to normal...

Do you know things that normally you would not fail to do or say? At that stage I just did not have the capacity to remember... I was aware of everything I did, but was on autopilot...

I am happy that now I'm coming back to normal.... Hahahaha... BRAIN LEAVING STANDBY!

Dear,

Let me tell the news from the front... Front of the radioactive bighead... Hahaha ... I'm back to my house since last week... Meanwhile what happened:

1. I started radiotherapy on 06/01... But not the radiation that should have been made 2 months ago (5 sessions of located radiotherapy)...  But the conventional radiotherapy that radiates throughout the bighead...

2. Remember I went to the hospital because I was confused and dizzy? So when I was admitted there, there was a suspicion of brain swelling... But it was not "just" that... After tests it found that there was a certain presence of new cancer cells... They changed the treatment plan... They immediately began to make a conventional radio (10 sessions)... After a month there will be further evaluation to see if it was enough... If so, making the controls and monitor is enough... If not, I will have to do more of those five scheduled sessions at the beginning

3. Radiation therapy ended on Tuesday... I still feel a little sick but getting better... The trend now is to improve... Not only the stomach, but also the movement... With a swollen brain no physio can solve it… Hehehe... From next week I'll get stronger... This week I'm giving a break to head, so it does not come under too much pressure.... Hihihi…

4. Now... Sadness... Think of a person who was beginning to enjoy the hair... kkkkkk.... The radio's doing the hair fall again... But that's okay... Do you want to see a bizarre thing? It is this mask I had to use to keep a the head on place during the applications of radio... In addition to pressing the face, it was something smelly... kkkkk.... This only helped the sick huh? Kkkkkkkkk...

5. In this game I  lost 5.5kg.... AAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHH.... Hahaha... Too bad that with the corticoids I am taking soon the 5.5kg will turn over.... hahaha ...

Aaahhh... I think it's "only" that... kkkk... I'm dying to lead a quiet life... Without so many emotions... Kkkkkkk... At least not this kind of emotions.... Hahahaha....

People,

In the other newsletter I said that would bring more news... Kkkkkkk... Just did not think it would be so many:

Good News

1. Since Saturday I had felt a slight deterioration in the arm and leg control... A weakness... I was so weird that I almost fell on top of Thiby... Hahaha... It was just like the time when Claudia felt after taking a little glass of bubbly... Hahaha... What a shame!  lol

2. So I'm back in hospital since Monday night... Since there is a swelling of the brain at the site of surgery

3. They are filling me with corticoids again because of the swelling... The two pounds of weight I had lost I think they will come back... Poor people’s joy last shortly…  Hahahaha...

4. I'm still waiting to make the radiotherapy... The health security has denied... No comments

5. Probably the hair will fall into the insertion sites of the radio... I'll be looking like a mangy dog ​... kkkkk...

Top News

1. With this “game” of staying in the hospital at least I made a MRI to see if it's just swelling or the tumor coming back... The most likely is the swelling... Tomorrow there will be a meeting (neuro, neuro surgeons, radio, radio surgery and medical oncology) to determine the procedure to be followed (to operate again or only radiotherapy)

2. I got the injunction justice to do the radiotherapy... Since Friday I'm holding it... But I am deeply angry with the bureaucracy, even though court order to do the treatment... When there are not problems  with the health security, there are problems with the hospital... I would like to thank Thiago for making this process for me... And also thank to De and Ro for worrying and being willing to help if needed...

3. Heads Luciano and Elias, I am accumulating more experience doing Radiotherapy Project management.... kkkk....

4. Because of being hospitalized the process to make the radio may be faster... Let's see... So I think it should stay here in the "spa" for at least another week or two... Hehehe...

5. The hair will fall a little because of radio... But in the moment I can enjoy a pompadour hairstyle... Hahaha... I still do not have much hair on top of the operation cutting, but nothing that a combing cream does not soften... Kkkkk...

6. Dr. Wesley let me shave my legs... Hahaha... Now at least I'm presentable... lol... Think about a critical situation... Do not condemn me... I'm still a woman... And I still suffer with "small fairness"... Hehehe...

7. My hand still does not move... But there is a possibility that it is caused by the swelling... I hope so... The neuro who came here said a little movement should be back... It will not come back 100%... But it must come back a little, I have to do much physio!

Aaahhh... I think it's "only" that... kkkk... If there is more news I come back to tell you... lol...
