Melting at a soccer tournament

We spent the day at Alex' soccer tournament in Raytown. It was close to 100 degrees and miserable. She and her teammates were just drenched! They played in the U-18 division and they did pretty good. Alex got decked a couple of times by girls that easily weighed 30 lbs more than her if not more. They have one more game tomorrow afternoon. We are heading to the Race for the Cure this morning for an early "run" to raise money for Breast Cancer research. I finished with my first few treatments of radiation. It goes pretty quickly and is just like a long x-ray. So far no skin changes but the radiation oncologist said this would start to happen at about the 10th treatment. So far no side effects to report. I did have another herceptin infusion Thursday and all went well. The pre-meds still make me sleepy during the treatment so I usually take a little nap. My feet are still very painful but wearing tennis shoes helps. Have a wonderful weekend everyone and stay cool!
