View Full Version : I'm done with radiation, so here's a band I like.

3 months later, i'm done getting nuked. I don't reccommend radiation to anyone. Actually, i'd avoid it at all costs. It burnt off all my tastebuds, so, everything tastes metallic. When oatmeal tastes metallic, you know you are screwed. My carbomb...well the one I had 2 carbombs ago, tasted like metal shavings. But today is st. patty's, so fuck it. I'm celebrating never having to get microwaved from the inside out ever again. I'm having blood flown in from family for a upcoming procedure. Again, I don't reccommend radiation to anyone, esp. if it's anywhere near your mouth or heart.
I live alone with my two dogs now. It's rather pleasant. Dealing with getting rid of cockroaches was a pain in the ass, especially since i'm italian, and like a good little italian woman, I tend to cook and bake a lot... barefoot... in the kitchen. After waging chemical warfare on the 'lightening beetles' 2 times via bombing and fumigating and spraying and vowing to set my kitchen on fire, they are gone. If they come back, i'll set my kitchen on fire. I swear to all holy batgoats, i'll set the motherfucker on fire, i'm insured. I have somewhere safe for the dogs. I'll wage napalm on them. *shakes fist violently*
How many carbombs was that? I don't care. I'm still coherent, so obviously not enough. Let me bitch about the effects of radiation. Besides everything tasting like metal shavings, being a bit burnt, having lopsided radiation tattoos, you get something called IBS, aka, Intermittantly Blowing Shit out your ass at rates imcomprehendable to anyone who has never visited mexico and drank the water. In a world that everyone is on a diet and trying to loose weight, I have been fighting to gain weight for 3 months. I eat every hour on the hour. I was 122lbs and trying to get to 130lbs. Radiologists and Oncologists want you to weigh at least 130lbs at 5'8"... because blowing your intestines clear of all matter several times daily...well, you can't gain weight. Try eating that much when everything tastes like metal. Add your mouth being burnt so everything with texture is horrible, so you go on a liquid boost and ensure diet, and try to squeeze a steak (cold, hot things make everything worse) in there, and a lot of beer.
Why am I bitching? I'm thin, i'm pretty sure i'm still gosh darn cute (and single), and I got through radiation. I'm bitching because it would have been a hell of a lot easier to cut the SOB out. Sure, i'd have a scar, but i'm tattooed, so what do I care? Battlescars. Now I have battle burns, no sense of decent taste, and gastrointestinal problems. Oh,and I got a huge TV. I haven't had cable in over a year. Since I took off of school for this semester to deal with the nukings and still work, I figured cable would be a nice treat on a 34" wide screen HD shiney box. Yep. Everything on TV annoys me, except Anthony Bourdain. I'd like to ride that man, then pop a few bottles of red and giggle about it. Anthony, I live in Phoenix, I hope you like mexican food, because even the italian food here is mexican...as is the chinese food and the thai food......
Bands. All current bands can suck my left one and go to hell for the amount of suck they bring to the radiowaves and mass produced brightly stamped CD's and MP3's they reside on. Currently, I reccommend:
Puscifer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciKLcogbC-A
Gogol Bordello:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_81l4DXlwM
and Battles:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpGp-22t0lU&feature=related
How about cigarette prices? Last week a carton was $43 at Circle K, $35 at the reservation. And there is a smoking ban here, so who the hell is smoking anyway? Seriously, I don't go to a bar to get healthy, I go to punish my liver and have a smoke. This week, cartons are $65. Are you fucking kidding me? Is this how NJ and NY have felt for how many years? I was spoiled in good ol' forsaken VA, tobaccie land. $65 for a carton of smokes. The drug cartels need to ditch the Meth and start bringing some smokes. I started rolling my own, effectively making a carton $15. I win. And before anyone stands on their soapbox and gives me the 'if you are going through radiation, why are you smoking'? Keel over and eat pavement. Being nuked for a non-cancerous tumor is stressful. I get to smoke and drink. Over 8 weeks in a waiting room with people that actually have cancer staring at me going 'poor young thing'.
My lease is up in September. I'm relocating back to the east coast. I'm tired of being asked 'Habla Espanol' followed by "hey baby, i want to eat your pussy". Yeah, I habla, I also Spreche, Snakker and Gratzi, but i'm in a english speaking country, so I speak english. If I was south of the border, I'd Habla. If i was in Germany, i'd Spreche, but i'm in the USA. I fucking speak English. Speaking of the USA, when the hell did everyone get so ugly and mutated looking? Seriously, there are more people here with eyes on the side of their head and extra appendages than post-hiroshima.
I could go on and bitch about the severe lack of quality in vibrators these days, but I need to go to bed so I can wake up at an ungodly hour and go be an accountant. Kisses!:blink:

This is... the way that this works."

So you had a terrible car accident and now you've undergone radiation. What luck. May I ask, why did you need radiation?
I needed radiation because I have a totally awesome autoimmune disorder that mimicks cells of my major organs, than attacks them, causing adhesions and other lovely effects (like the heart disco ball). Add to that Hashimoto's Disease, yet another autoimmune disorder that has rendered me with hypothyroidism since I was 17. Hashimotos = you needs meds because your thyroid is eating itself. Normally, NORMAL people live with this, take their meds daily and are happy as clams. I have the added extra bonus feature of the additional autoimmune disorder, so my thyroid mostly ate itself, created tissue that adhered to itself, and created a parasitic tumor, meaning, all that thyroid medicaiton I was taking? Yeah, I got no benefit from it because the tumor was sucking it all up and doing jack shit with it.
The tumor had always shown up as a 'nodule' in previous ultrasounds, and they always attributed my inflammed thyroid to the fact I wasn't on a high enough dose of medication. Well well well, I finally grew myself a lady-lump, not on the back, but on the front, and you could physically see it when i tilted my head back. I also couldn't swallow anymore. I had to do this weird head tilt to get anything down. So, the ultrasound confirmed ZEH TUMAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH, and a RAIU confirmed that the friend i grew was sucking me dry. I think I bitched about RAIU's on here previously, but for the record, I also do not reccommend having radioactive iodine pumped into you... work the next day was messing with me and took a geiger device and it made all sorts of clicking at me..... i had to flush twice when i peed. I saved on electricity that month because of the irridescent glow.
So, in this crap ass economy, what does my loverly HMO do? They deny surgery and approve radiation to shrink the tumor. Do what now? Yeah, i'm only 28, thyroid removal it TOO INVASIVE and HIGH RISK, and studies show that radiation can effectively shrink and non-cancerous growth. 3 endocrinologist and oncologists later, i was getting my ghetto tattoos (radiologist techs have to tattoo dots on you to line the machine up the same every treatment....and they literally do it with a simple needle and pot of ink and stab you repeatedly. To add insult to injury, my dots are fucking lopsided. Here I am, down to my elbows with tattoos, and i get lopsided dots on my throat. So, since I am a breathing idiot, I picked the scabs of nightly because it bothered me so much they were lopsided. This effectively faded the ink. And made me feel oddly better about having a retarded lop fanged nosferatu attack my throat.
So there you have it. My parasitic tumor went from the size of a walnut, to a pea, to not visible. My thyroid was albarated (it's a black void now). My blood test confirmed that my thyroid medication is actually registering and i'm finally leaving hypothyroidism, my hair is more healthy and not falling out as much, my pancreas (which doesn't work very well because of the adhesions on it) is behaving and I have not used a injectable in a long time. But, radiation takes out your immune system, so i got fluid in my right lung and a upper resp infection, and severe arrhythmia. Meh, it'll go away. If the large amount of Guinness didn't render the infection gone, i'll take a few shots of vodka tonight. Vodka, btw, does not taste like metal shavings. It takes like gasoline. I used to love Vodka shots. Perhaps a shot of makers mark.... if anything, it'll clear out my sinuses.:thumbup:

I'm a month ahead on all my bills, and my debt has gone down ALOT since I moved out of my ex's.....

skellington they should not have put you through all that
my dad had 11 little tumors on his thyroid gland
the doctor said it was probably caused by
getting too many x-rays when he was a child
they decided to take out the entire gland
he came through the surgery fine
and was back to normal in a week
absolutely zero horror stories like yours
he has to take synthetic thyroid hormone every day
since he has no gland to make it
but this is no biggie
they should have done that for you

If it's any consolation, once your tastebuds grow back (in a couple weeks) that pesky metallic taste will be gone and you'll be able to enjoy your food again.
Maybe now would be the time to go out to Carlsbad Tavern (http://www.carlsbadtavern.com/) ... since you can't taste it, the habaneros won't get to you.
(Although it'd probably aggravate your IBS ... and that would suck.)
