Monday I start radiation. It's been several weeks now since surgery and my body is slowly healing. I still have some pain and tingly numbness but evidently that's normal.
The radiation treatment will be every day, Monday through Friday, for the next 6 or 7 weeks. That means this treatment plan will take me into mid November. Ugh...
The side effects from radiation are fatigue and some burning, like sunburn. Not too bad. There are others, but I choose not to think about them.
After this I should be nearing the end of my long journey.
Thank heavens!
In the meantime, I am looking forward to enjoying this wonderful fall weather!
Crisp chilly mornings, coffee on the porch, puttering in the garden, and taking walks with Otis and Riley.
Be back soon,
Almost done! I hope the worst of it is over for you. This time next year you will be good as new! Our prayers are coming your way! Mimi
ReplyDeleteI'll miss you girl. Take care of you.

P.s. my sis lost her 16 year old Doxie last nite. :-(
At this point you must just be able to see the end of the treatment....across October into November. I have two books for you and will wrap them up this week, now that I'm home, and send them along to keep you company.
ReplyDeletePraying that you sail thru this with little or no side effects.And that your journey will pass soon.
ReplyDeleteThis also will be over before you know it. My Aunt went through this...When I asked her if it hurt she'd always just say "it was pesky but doable"...
ReplyDeleteSending you love and prayer and a wish that will make the time fly by!!

It will truly be a Thanksgiving for you this year. Your posts certainly put things on my mind - like politics - into perspective. Best to you.
ReplyDeleteSending you healing thoughts Donna as you go toward the next step in this process.
