Alien Parasite

My stomach hurts in a new and unique way now. It feels like I swallowed a jawbreaker and it got stuck right behind my sternum. Each time I swallow, and sometimes when I breath deeply, I can feel it. I am thinking that the aliens might have implanted one of their own in my stomach and it is teething. I figure in about 2 weeks it will gnaw its way out and do a little dance on my abdomen for me to some Nat King Cole song. The other possibility is that the radiation has irritated some of my guts in there. It isn't all that bad of pain, but I am going to tell them about it tomorrow and hopefully they will confirm that this is an expected side-effect and that I can procede with treatment.
