Shannon is on steroids, which have returned a lot of her functionality. She's even complaining about my proof reading, to witch I say byte mi! Anyways, you may see her liking or even short responses. She can usually get a short sentence or a few words at a time. Some days are better than others, but she's overall much more functional.
It is a double edged sword however, with her increased awareness of her condition she also is more aware of how far she has regressed. This can impact her mood from time to time. The bloating isn`t helping her self image either.
Radiation began this week. Shannon likes how quick and accurate it seems. She describes it though like the creepy robot-alien from lost in space (the new one). It apparently is only millimeters from your face as it does its work.
So far we haven`t had any serious complications, no noticeable swelling or neurological issues. The only current side effect is she can feel the heat on her skin like a sunburn. We've picked up some aloe, though if anyone knows something better let us know!
- PS - Murphy has replaced Shannon in judging my grammar:
