So far the worst side effect is just a fairly sore swollen lymph node, and according to the radiology staff, I should expect a delayed hit to my energy from a few days to about a week post each treatment. If my skin gets overly red and blisters they'll prescribe a creme to help. But I might not really have that happen? It's uncertain, since the dosage was extreme, but the treatment isn't daily. So you know (and you should) I like to say, "there's a creme for that" anytime someone mentions a potential skin related thing... so apparently there really is!
And to celebrate I stopped off at Portland's venerable Voodoo Donuts which happens to be down the road a bit from the hospital... eep! They're a fun shop (not sure if the original downtown location has reopened yet, but that's somewhat immaterial at the moment).
Here's a fun shot of me in Joshua Tree Park (in So Cal) from a little over a year ago when Ki and I decided to check it out while he was teaching down in Pomona. I thought the tree looked like it was flashing the rock hand signs :)
