Hi pinks, I was supposed to have seven weeks of radiation, and guess what, they decided today was my last day :) My skin is in tough shape, ouchy ouchy ouchy, but it feels good to know I don't have to run there every day anymore!! They decided not to do the 10 boosters. My wonderful rad techs gave me a certificate of "graduation" and a guardian angel pin, they were so awesome, I'm going to miss them. Tomorrow is the brain ct with contrast to check for mets and as soon as these expanders come out I'll undergo the MRI for my spine. Will post and let everyone know how the ct scan turns out tomorrow, scan in the morning, results in the afternoon, I love that, not waiting days.

    So happy you got to skip to the head of the class, and hope your skin starts feeling better soon!

    I had my last regular treatment today, and just the 5 boosters to go - I can see the finish line!
