DONE!!

Well today was my last treatment. And as thrilled and happy as I am to be DONE!! It was bitter sweet, the people there are wonderful and I grew to love them all. In fact they got hugs from me. Not only did I get a standing ovation from them I got a " certificate of merit" that they all signed and it will get framed and hung in my office.  They became family, and that is a true testament to their wonderful caring ways. And as much as i love them I hope to never see them professionally again! :)
I intend to continue my blog but it probably wont be daily anymore. I see my surgeon on Friday so I will blog a update then. I see my oncologist next week and I see my radiation oncologist in about a month. I will blog as I get results and as " stuff " worth blogging comes up.
Thank you all for following me and reading this and thank you for the support and words of encouragement. I hope someone stumbles on this and it helps them... Pay it Forward.
God Bless you all

One more treatment to go woooooo~hoooooooo! I am thrilled to be this close to the finish line. However I am very disappointed with my behavior yesterday: Yesterday a co-workes looked at me and said I am 1/2 way there. I asked half way to what? She said she is 2 1/2 years cancer free, ( she was saying she is 1/2 way to the infamous 5 year mark. ( Great I know) But did I react by telling her how great it is? No I became a martyr I said I was almost at the 7 year mark but now I am starting over..L( boo hoo poor Laura) Why couldn't I just express how happy I was for her mile stone?? I know I did not act how He wants me to. I failed a test He had given me. I instantly felt horrible.. Please forgive me..
I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday.
God Bless

In sight

The finish line is in sight. I only have 2 more treatments left. It is hard to believe 6 weeks is almost here ( it seemed like a long way off when I started this blog.) I am thrilled to be nearing the finish line. The RX the doc gave me seems to be helping, I am still blistered but the pain is subsiding. I put the RX on then a gauze bandage and there seems to be some oozing hopefully that = healing.
I made my last treat for my amazing team and gave it to them today they got a loaf of banana bread and a loaf of lemon poppy seed bread. They are a wonderful group of people and I hope I NEVER see them ( at their place of work ) again!
Have a wonderful Monday and God Bless

I am on the home stretch. Saw Dr. MacKay ( I love this women) she was looking at my skin and the blistering from the burn. ( She actually noticed I had open blisters under my arm as well, the one under my breast is so big and painful I didn't even realize I had a open one there. Anyway she gave me a RX for a burn cream. I am hoping to have relief by the end of the weekend.
When I got the RX filled a women at the pharmacy said this is amazing if anyone gets a burn, just put it on right way and you will have no problem. Good to know since it came in a " vat" and I have 1 refill.
Enjoy your weekend
God Bless

4-2go

I have only 4 more treatments! Today was the first day of the more intense treatments, where they are only radiating the area of the incision and where they took the " mass" so now treatments are 1/2 of a Our Farther.  I am really just not feeling like myself lately. I have a case of the blues. I try to put on a good front and as long as I am not alone I am OK , but I am kind of blue.. Hopefully when I can get my routine back I'll snap out of it.
Happy Thursday
God Bless

1 week left

Well 1 week from right now I will be DONE with radiation therapy! Thank the Lord! I am really ready for this to be done, for a number of reasons, 1 ) I am putting gas in the car every other day, and trust me it really adds up it is probably close to $125 if not more a week. 2) I am tired and ready to be able to sleep in in the morning and not have to get ready as soon as I get up. 3) I am starting to get a little depressed, for no reason and it doesn't last long, but I have moments of sadness. All and all I am just ready to be done running every day!
God Bless you all

Treatments are moving right along. Tomorrow is my last one where it is a full scan, starting Wednesday I will start my more focused treatment where they just treat the area where the " mass" was removed. and that is what my last 5 treatments will involve.  So as they say so far so good. Other then the effects I have mentioned.
Happy Tuesday and God Bless
