[Any suggestions on sleeping?]

Hi again everybody,

I finished my first radiation treatment today.I am so excited now that I can't sleep.I took ambian with little or no effect.Seems I sleep very deeply but when I awake I am wide awake.I am on decadron too so I am sure some of it comes from that.I cannot stop eating either.I feel like a bottomless pit.I am so glad that I found this board and thanks so much for all the welcomes.I look forward to checking in here all the time now.Peace and serenity to you all.I think some of my siblings have joined up here so you all probably will be chatting with them too.I have a huge support group right here in this little town and lots of family.Thanks again.TBone

[Finished first treatment]

I just finished my first radiation treatment and wondered what I will do with that mask.Mine looks like Jason.I may have to get some neices and nephews and my kids to elaborate on the artwork.The treatment was fast and easy.In and out in15 minutes.Do they always run that far after they push the zap button,though.I think the 3 techs in my room went to Alabama to eat afte they hit that button.I could hear them a running but could't see to where

[New man arrives]

Hello everyone,

I was recently diagnosed, 12/24,with adenocarcinoma of right lung that has metasized to brain.I have 3 tumors in right side of brain.I start a 3 week whole brain radiation treatment program later today.Had a mask made yesterday.I just wanted to sign up and read some stuff and will share as things move on.All this happened so suddenly that I am still in shock but thank God I am not in pain as of yet.Still have my apetite and hope and faith and doing a whole lot of praying.I wish you all the very best.
