October 3rd - just an update on the radiation treatments. I've completed 20 of 25 treatments. I have two treatments left this week and three next week. Wednesday, October 10th will be my LAST radiation treatment!!!!! Having said that I've developed a pretty good sunburn on my front chest and on my back right clavicle area. Its pretty painful, itchy and red. They say that the effects from radiation will last 2-3 weeks after radiation is done so I may see blistering yet. I've been somewhat tired but not as tired as when I was going through chemo, thank goodness!!
I can hardly believe that my 9 1/2 month cancer journey is coming to an end. You know someone told me early on, the day I became a cancer patient, I also became a survivor! I didn't feel so much of a survivor at that time but now that I'm nearing my last radiation treatment I'm getting that feeling of a survivor!!!! And it feels mighty good!!
Prayers go out to those that are newly diagnosed with cancer and those who are in the midst of it!
May God be with you and give you strengh!
