Saturday was a day off from most everything. We headed up the hill to do a little gambling (came home $11 ahead!) and pretty much just get away from everything. A little mental hygiene for the two of us! It wasn't very crowded due to the snow so the smoke wasn't bad and we had our pick of whatever slot we wanted.

I started to break out - the side effect of the Erbitux - pretty well through out the day! This is a good thing by the way as it shows that the drugs are working! My nose has taken the brunt of it so far and is pretty red and full of zits!!! I'm worried my voice will start changing again since I feel like a teenager with all the zits again! I do have them showing up on the cheeks, forehead, chin, neck and chest as well. Once it really gets going I'll post a pic or two.

One thing I forgot to mention in regards to the RT; I'll be getting an injection in the butt before every treatment...35 shots in the butt...may not be sitting well by the end of this!!! We don't remember what they are for so we'll have to ask again. We have been completely inundated with information this week and we tried to write down as much as we could but we did miss a couple of things!
