Last Day Of Radiation

Hello Everyone..Today was my last treatment of radiation.Thirty-six treatments of a lop-sided sunburn.Next I see my doctor in 5 weeks, do a blood work-up in 6 weeks, and then the oncologist in 7 weeks. They told me that it takes at least one month for the radiation to leave my body. At least a couple months to heal and feel like my own self. We will do mammograms every three months for a year. The nurse also told me that the first few mammograms will probably come back marked with changes noted and to look further. She said not to be worried because there was surgery and radiation. That is what caused the changes and as time goes on, the mammograms will look better. I asked about the chances of the beast coming back and what would we do. She said the same treatment, unless I decided differently.I also got a little gold apple pin.

My friend Teresa called me up and took me out to dinner. I even had a beer to celebrate.

I now have three more weeks of being off work to just enjoy doing nothing.

To all of you who have been so encouraging to me I send a hug and the biggest thank you I can muster. And I won't be leaving this board, I have too many ladies to look out for and keep up on.

God Bless all of you...Cindy
