Discharged thank goodness

I feel great and can wear a bra again. :):):)
Dr. Leven (pronounced Levene without the "e" ) said good bye and I go back for a check up in 6 months, on my birthday to be exact.
Well, its been an interesting journey, I learned things that were not on my list to know, meet some really great health care workers, BUT it did happen.
Thanks to everyone who gave support, phone calls, emails and things I have forgotten.
I hope to go to Ghana end of February for three months but it still depends on how I feel....
until then.....

21 DOWN ...NO MORE TO GO !!!!!! FINITO

So the last day has arrived, finished this radiation chapter of treatment.
Told it will take two weeks for things to start getting back to the 'new' normal,

pics today just show the Big Machine

As I mentions before, I have been adding a charm to a bracelet for every treatment that I had.

# 21 today

ta ta 

 

 

Epiphany and #20 down...1 to go

Can you believe it, I got my schedule and it is blank for next week  Yipeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
I took a picture of the BIG machine in Unit 8 where my treatment has happened.
If you look closely I think there are Orbs (?spirits perhaps, who are supporting others as they walk the same path,) you may think it is reflection but it looks like Orbs to me, I will take a couple tomorrow to see what is there.

#19 down .... 2 to go

WELL,  almost done. let me say....  I will not be upset when it is over. Saw Doc today and whined a bit about the burning sensation of the skin. Normal was the answer, I just love being normal even if it actually sucks from the inside.  After radiation treatment to see doc in two weeks.
going to see a movie Wednesday PM to celebrate THE END of this chapter.

#18 down .... 3 to go

I learned today that the second direction that I am now receiving has a smaller scope with more focus on where the actual tumor was. Also, before the treatment they overlay the original ultrasound  on top of the image of the machine set each day, so they radiate the exact same spot every time.

Neat science eh!

OLD YEAR ENDS.... NEW YEAR BEGINS ... MMMM...what will be up in the next 12 months? 17 down...4 to go

Different direction of the radiation today, a little longer as well, I could feel the results of the rays today..no pain but a sparkly feeling and it has been off and on all day ???? I guess its normal, will ask doc on Monday (will let you know)
SO
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL, HEALTH , FUN IN 2015, AND MAY EVERYONE ENJOY LIFE WITH A BIT OF TWIST TO KEEP IT EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!***************!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#16 done......5 to go

Today ended my first radiation direction, my chest looks like a  bright red sunburn in the shape of a square (it is amazing how the techs line my tattoos up to the machine everyday so the radiation is on the same place every time, pretty neat if I do say so myself) I guess everyone needs a tanned square on their chest for decoration,    lol,    burn feels hot, saw doc today and got ointment PROSHIELD PLUS to sooth the skin, ointment on but not feel much better yet, hopefully soon  ......
