Been very busy this week but can't remember what I have done since Monday. Okay I pulled out my calendar and now I know. On Tuesday I had another CAT scan, in order for them to map out my radiation. The guy doing it was very young. Boy was that uncomfortable! Especially when when he was drawing on my back (and other places) with a sharpie! That whole process was a pain! It took a really long time. I have to go back tomorrow so they can re-sharpie me. Then Tuesday I go for a test run and then they will put little tattoos on me in place of the sharpie. I should start radiation on March 9th and I am going back to work on the 10th! I need to go back before my brain is total mush! I have to go for radiation for 33 days, everyday Monday - Friday. They say one of the side effects is fatigue, but that usually doesn't happen until you are half way through. Nothing can compare with the fatigue I felt from chemo. I think I slept for four months straight!
Yesterday I had a great time at lunch meeting up with a new friend and my old Unilever friends. My new friend is Sophia. She was introduced to me through my friend Bev. Sophia also has breast cancer and was diagnosed right after I was. Our treatments have been very similar and we have been pen pals throughout this long winter. We decided now was a good time for us to finally meet. It was also great seeing and catching up with my former co-workers!
Today I went to the dentist to start working on the crown that will go over the root canal tooth. Tonight I had dinner with Mom and Dad. I actually cooked and took it to their house. There are too many begging animals here to eat peacefully.
So that is what is up with me, email me and tell me what's new in your life!

Hi Friend,
Glad to hear everything is going smoothly!!
It was wonderful to see you!! I miss you lots and lots!!!
Hey just FYI - I got a 100 on my final accouting test!!!
Yeah, very happy!!!!
Love, your friend Michell
I would send you an email but I am too scared to go near my email - I have not gotten to go through my inbox since before my Dad went in the hospital - so I am afraid to look and see how many emails I have now!
Nothing new here - had 2 of my cousins over last night - drank too many beers (me & beer - how weird - I know!!) and ate too many pastries today --- not feeling so good tonight now > no surprise there I guess!
All else pretty quiet here for now - hope it stays this way!
Glad things are going good - you must really be looking forward to going back to work! that is great!
I have to go clean up my kitchen - we kind of trashed it last night-it needs to be put back in order!! Then I am off to bed!
Give me a call when you have a chance!
Talk to you soon!
Love C
