Always a good way to start the day.
The guys who are performing my radiation oncology said, "How you feel when you come in for your treatment is likely how you'll feel when you leave. If you're getting out and enjoying your day before you come in, it will make a difference on how you do overall."Always a good way to start the day.
Sorry about that. And the snow was way too chalky tooGood on you @Tricia! (Sickeningly parallel skis though ... really depressing for us hackers ...)
Because I've been asked by a few, I thought I'd update.
Today will be my 13th radiation treatment (out of 20) and the fatigue is starting to hit me.
I've been diligent about getting on snow as much as possible to keep my soul charged up, and my lungs filled with fresh air.
After my appointment yesterday I came home and rested, ended up falling asleep around 7 and woke up around 7 AM today with only a short bit of time awake in the middle of the night.
If this and the minimal tenderness in the surgical area is all I experience for side effects I've got it pretty good.
I'd like to give a huge shout out to the people in my circle who have encouraged me virtually and personally.
I'm not sure what I'd do without Phil's incredible support.
Thanks.I just caught wind of this thread. Best of luck to you, Tricia. Sounds like you've made it through the worst of it, and glad to hear you're on the mend.
Thank you.Oh dear! Just arrived here (via @Philpug 's Afib thread) and learned the news. I'm so glad this went as well as it did!
Yes, we are very fortunate. We have each other for support.Oh dear! Just arrived here (via @Philpug 's Afib thread) and learned the news. I'm so glad this went as well as it did!
CongratulationsToday was my 6 month check up after surgery.
Mammogram is clear, and the benign lump that was not removed has disappeared, likely from the radiation treatments. The only side effects I seem to continue to have are hot flashes. They come at random times and leave just as quickly. With my history, I had gone through early menopause after surgery back when I was 36, but there were some minimal hormones, which have been affected by the breast cancer treatment. If that's all the side effects I'm left with... I'll take it!
I'm officially a survivor!
I know you're going to kick its ass, Tricia!
