Radiation..........

Today I finished my second week of radiation! So far I have no major skin irratations, etc....BUT, they tell me weeks four and following will change that......we'll see.............

I also had a MUGA scan on my heart this morning.........checking to see that the heart is functioning properly given the radiation and the Herceptin that I've been back on the last several weeks...............

I meet with my oncologist next Wednesday and I'm sure we'll discuss the scan results and hopefully discuss the probability of a hysterectomy this summer............

In the meantime, I feel pretty good. My hair is coming in....nice salt and pepper color and a bit of a mohawk look.............anxious for that to go away, but it's HAIR, so I'll take it!!

I have four more weeks of radiation and four more weeks of school so I'm countin' em both down.........radiation really not so bad....I go either on my way to work or I run over there during my long lunch/conference period............can't complain.............

Sam turns 14 this Sunday. I let him drive me to Walgreens yesterday.....this time next year we'll be getting his permit and driving everywhere..........oh my!! Time is flying!
