So, last Monday, I finally got my lab results from October! As I knew, my new endo told me that they are almost the same as before surgery.. so nothing new.
I have a new endo because my previous one has gone to a new Hospital it is being opened this year, but I also like my new doctor. We already knew each other because she has always been in the Hospital the days I have spent there. She has told me that I will have some more blood tests after Radiotherapy and will start treatment in March.
I also met another woman with Acro, she is 65 years old and was operated over 20 years ago in Peru. We spoke for more than one hour while we were waiting for our turn with the doctor. She was very friendly and we interchanged phone numbers.
Apart from that, I have to say that I just have 3 Radio Sessions left!!!!!!!!! I am really looking forward to finish them (on Thursday). My Radio doctor told me yesterday that now I will start noticing slowly the changes, and I am quite happy to hear that (at last).

Radiotherapy - Day 18
First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
So today it is going to be my 18th day with radio - and I feel quite better than expected - of the 28 sessions that I am going to receive.
Main side effects:
- heartburn (finished with Omeprazol)
- red eyes (finished with eye drops)
- tireness (but I can go to work, study, go out with my friends... normal life)
- feeling of nausea ¿? as if I were about to vomit, but I haven't
I am not completely sure that every feeling is caused by radio, but since I am not sure I blame it. I visit my radio-doctor every Monday, so that he knows how I am feeling each week.
My machine is from Elekta, quite similar to the picture, the main difference is that I am wearing my mask! I thought that I was going to feel claustrophobia but I have got used to wearing it every day (it is just five minutes!) and I breath easily and feel comfortable.
Next Monday I have an appointment with my endo, so that he FINALLY can tell me my blood results from October!! So, I will update soon.
