I am now done with radiation and am doing fine. The "burn" under my arm has healed well and healed quickly. After 6 weeks of going to the doctor every weekday I feel like I am forgeting to do something at 2:00 every day.
I am enjoying this nice weather and looking forward to working in the garden this weekend. I am anxious to get some gardening done before my surgery (switch tissue expanders for implants) on May 3rd. I am sure they won't want me digging in the dirt right after surgery :)
My hair is getting longer, it is about an inch long now. It does look similar to the same color, maybe a little more gray. I will leave it the color it comes in. I have never colored my hair and don't plan on starting now. I do hope I get the "chemo curl". It would be nice to have something other than stick straight hair.
I was recently told that someone else close to me has breat cancer and I was very sad to hear that news. After being someone who has had it, it made me really mad. the Susan G Komen slogan is fight for a cure. I guess I would like them to fignt to prevent it in the first place.
I am almost to the end of this part of the journey and have not really thought about having had cancer or being a survivor or whatever they say now. My Dr tells me this will hit me at some point and to be ready for it. I think the best advice is to live one day at a time and know that I will have sad days and happy days just like everyone else. Right now I am just happy that I am were I am, in my treatment and in my life.
