Radioactive Boob Girl!

The idea of Radioactive Boob Girl happened when I was having lunch with my friend Kevin while he was in town for Fanime when we were discussing my upcoming radiation treatments. I came up with the idea for a comic book character. I don't wanna give away too much of the idea, but it's gonna be good ;)

ok, so my boob is not really radioactive, but I did start radiation on Thursday. The first appointment took about an hour or so. I did a simulation last week where they figure out my positioning for the treatment, so on thursday they worked with the photos and markings to recreate the positioning which takes time the first time and they also take x-rays. Subsequent treatments appointments take about 30 minutes total. The actual treatment time is less then 10 minutes, the set up is what takes a little time to get me in the exact position they need. Treatment is everyday for 6 weeks. The whole process kinda feels like some strange alien probing in a way. They don't actually probe me with anything, but the way I have to lay I can't really see much of what is going on and there are laser beams and people measuring the laser beams and the machine is moving around.

My hair is coming back nicely. I am noticing it getting fuller all the time. I posted this photo on Facebook last week, but I also want to share it here. I no longer wear a hat or scarf to cover my bald head... I'm no longer bald! I have gotten so many complements about the shape of my head, I never knew my head was such a nice shape.
