The Monster in My Cherry Blossoms


Have I mentioned the radiation machine has a face? No…really.

Each morning as the machine rotates into position over me, its innards begin to realign in a precise computer-generated snarl.

The counterpoint—a giant photo of sunshine, blue sky and cherry blossoms in full bloom…on the ceiling. Talk about surreal.

So anyway, there’s a monster in my cherry blossoms. He spits toxic cancer killer rays.

PS—I’m not feeling as cranky about radiation therapy as week #2 comes to an end. On Monday I was downright morose.

No skin side effects yet—I’m sure that will rain on my parade, big time.
