LAST TREATMENT TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I am very excited. This has been the longest week. The radiation really sucks! My skin looks as if I spent the week at the beach and it hurts even worse! It is making me kind of tired too. But tomorrow is it! NO more treatments! Yeah! Not sure how I want to celebrate, I am thinking of maybe going to Disney in the fall! Wanna come? Maybe dinner with the boys tomorrow.

I just have to say this since I have been keeping track of the people I have flashed. On Wednesday, I went to radiation and they asked me if I would mind if some other doctors and technicians watched. They were from another facility and wanted to (see how to torture people)check out this new equipment. I said sure why not, I have flashed half the world, why not seven more!!! They thought it was so funny!

Anyway, I am not saying this is my last entry. I will continue to update it as things happen. I don't have to go back to the oncologist for six weeks, but I can let you know the progress of my hair growth. By the way my eyebrows are looking good!My hair is about crew cut length and getting thicker and a little longer every day.

Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers!

Two left after today

Radiation treatments that is. I should say I have two left, if they don't kill me first. The others were fine but these last five are horrible. Too painful to even write about. I should be done by Friday! YEAH!!

I did go to see the oncologist on Monday, she said all is good, wants me to go for a test to see if I carry the cancer gene! Now I said, kinda late, but I guess it helps for them to know. Anything they can do to prevent a re-occurrence is fine with me.

Anyway, got to go get tortured now!

Lazy Sunday

Just can't seem to get motivated today. It may be a good nap day. I did clean a little and did some laundry, so I guess it is not a total waste. Dan is just as motivated as me and Joe is still sleeping. We will probably go out later. It is my Aunt Chubby's 75 birthday. We went to dinner last night but I am sure we will go see her again today.

Tomorrow is another one of those two doctor days. I have to go to radiation first. It is my last 5 sessions this week. They say tomorrow's visit will be about an hour! Then in the afternoon I have to go back to the oncologist for a follow up. That will be at least another hour. It is always so slow there! I have to go back every few weeks see the doctor and to get my port flushed. They won't remove it right away in case of a reoccurrence. So optimistic ha? I am hoping to work from home in between visits.

I really want to go see the oncologist tomorrow to find out what is next. I am hoping nothing and I can just go on with my life! I just want to be able to not think about cancer for one day.

More updates tomorrow!
