UPDATE

Woooo Hoooo, I had my first radiation treatment today. The little twin and her surrounding tissue will receive 15 more regular treatments and four boosts. That is only 19 more trips to the Cancer Centre. I think I may just go on the 'Net and look for a new rack! Later my peeps!

Cheers

PS. Just in case you are tone deaf, yes I'm extremely happy :o)

Blah!

Radiation was canceled yesterday. No treatment plan designed yet. God, I must have one very special breast!

I'm back!

Wow, it feels like a very long time since I have taken the time to update my blog. As it turns out, the seroma was finally small enough that I can now start radiation. I was very excited and mildly disappointed. I had decided that if I was expected to wait another week for the fluid to reabsorb I would do my waiting in the Dominican. I was then informed that my radiation would not be scheduled until late the following week so they would push it ahead a few more days to allow me a vacation. I was totally ecstatic! I danced out of the hospital and drove like a demon to get home. I went on the 'Net and booked a vacation immediately. I decided to take my girl child with me because Chris would never be able to go on a trip with only a few minutes notice. He's such a girl. I had to buy all new clothes because this years body was not going to fit in anything I wore last year. I was also under direct doctors orders to keep the sun off my chest. I sat under the grass umbrellas every day with my legs sticking out drinking beer and rum. It was great. My final bit of news is that I received my Carb Lovers Diet books from Amazon. I have to buy food and I am very excited to start this lifestyle. Perhaps by the end of summer I will be back to a normal (for me) weight. I look forward to that day as much as I look forward to my last day of radiation. I am so blessed and thankful to have so much to look forward to in life.
