DONE with Radiation

Image
30 days later, soreness, skin discoloration,  infection and I am done. Radiation today will stay in my body for 30 days to work its magic. Follow-up on 29th August for mammogram or CT. Whatever Dr. Thompson says. 

ONE MORE DAY

Can't believe its been a month getting zapped. My chest hurt from the burn and I feel like my chest bones are broken. Of course the expander keeps expanding and that hurts. Meds help but I can't wait until all the pain goes away. Here is my team who has help and supported me all the way.

3 more to go

I am now getting a deep treatment to the scar tissue with this intimidating added piece that is right up against my skin.  The sound (buzzing) is longer. I just can't wait to see the end and be clean of cancer.

4 More Buzzes

My last day is Monday...yippeeee.

The "LOOK"

Image
This is the look for radiation, stylish yet so comfortable to wear on the table. Unfortunately it comes in one color.  I noticed today that you can see the skin changing. Yes, it hurts physically and to see it. At I have about 10 days to go!

Cancer does NOT define me!

Today's a new day.

Terrible Day yesterday

I hate radiation.  Can't sleep, tired ALL the time, skin is changing (not for the good), my chest hurt from implant and rads site. I guess that's all I'm feeling at the moment.  Yesterday i felt like giving up......Hopefully,  today will be better.

Yes, its Kimberly

Chuckle of the Day Ok, I was corrected that its bot "pushing the button" but Driving. What a great laugh its still pushing the button to me!!!!

Happy 4th of July but...

Damn fireworks!!! Do you have to fire off @ 11:30? Bad enough that I have insomnia from chemo, up until 3:30. Was sleeping great naturally too. Whoever you are, YOU SUCK!

I wonder WHO is pushing the button?

Ok, I am going to ask on Friday.

Herceptin Day (Chemo)

Then comes Radiation.  Double duty day, yuk. My nurse told me not to give in to cancer and stay strong. Needed the inspiration!
