battyprincess, no problem :) different definition over there. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, Alistair Cooke & George Bernard Shaw "two countries separated by the same langauge"

Update:

I've just spoken to Phyll and she is very tired. She felt the "treatment" hit the tumour 3 times today, and upon returning home promptly took to her bed with Beanie.

Linda and all.. thank you so very very very much for the well wishes... you all have been more support to me than you can ever imagine and couldn't truly get through all this without you all. :) :-* :-*

No wet tshirts but the double deckers, top deck, between stop signs can be quite loverly. Cheeky, aren't I???? :D

Day 3 of treatment. I can tell when they hit the growth or hearing nerve... it's like a can of bug spray when it hits and the tinnitus screams in my head... just wish it would play a song I knew. Today's music selection... U2's "Joshua Tree"  The affects so far have been minimal and tolerable and just hanging in there. Get home from treatment and sleep for 3 hours, but I think it's due to the Atavan they give me pretreatment. BTW, pics of me in my Hannibal Lechter mask will be posted on my frappr website when we get back.  My baby sister now calls me and say 'ah, Hannibal Lechter, this is Clarrrrrrrrrr-eese!".   Trust me, it's not just me in the family that is warped... :)

Anyway, off to BI now... ready to rock and roll and just get this done. Kate, Beanie and I are doing fine... getting lots of love from them but the support you all are providing is doing me wonders.  I can say "thank you" in many different languages, but to just say it in simple English form just doesn't seem enough.

Sheesh Phyl, you sound like you're in pretty high spirits. You should start a "Fun with Radiation" post. Feel free to tell your doctor to stop hitting your nerves. Although... tinnitus is a more original and less annoying sound than U2. ;)

Do they strap you to a hand truck like Hannibal?  Is it because you bite?--well, Pearly Girly, quit snappin' at all the techies there and maybe they'll take the mask off!

But, seriously---hope you have a good day and the magic Cyberknife fairy really does her job well today!

Love and Kissies,

Hi all,

Just going to keep this brief today... (for now, milk it while you can!)   Dog continued to bark while I was trying to nap so going to try to lay back down while she's quiet.

Got some fabulous pictures today of my treatment... come to my crapper to see them:

http://www.frappr.com/ppearl214

If anyone is contemplating CK, these pics should really put you at ease!  I promise!
Some symptoms that I figured would occur, nothing unexpected.  All in all, doing ok, just tired.  My CB has been constantly checking up on me and hope to hear from him shortly.  Kate is doing a fab job taking care of me and as for you all, especially a couple of you wenches that got hold of my home address.... how the heck do I send properly loves and smooches and huggles of support back at you.  You all are amaizing!

Anyway, going to TRY to lay back down now... 2 days left to go, I cannot damn wait!  Tomorrow's music selection.... instead of Chipmunks due to their loudpitch sound, I'm bringing Elvis Presley's "Christmas"... Friday's celebratory of treatment over music, have no clue... I'm taking requests.

Love you all and can't thank you enough for ALL of your love and support! I've bragged about you to my family and friends. They all know how much you all are carrying me through this... you can save the "aw shucks" for when I log off! :)  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*:-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*:-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*:-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*:-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*:-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Hi Phyl -  two thumbs up on your choice of music today. Was a little worried about Alvin and the chipmunks....   Kinda of what my Tinnitus sounds like on a bad day  ;)    Elvis another two thumbs up!!!  You need to rock the house down on Friday.

Speaking of hand gestures.... is that the "CK" sign that I see you waving? 

Miss you!

Hugs and kisses
