Today I finished my 4th week of radiation. My last day of radiation will be June 11th.....turns out that "six weeks of radiation" is a general term..........they go by "treatments" to specific areas....any way....a few more days than I originally thought, but not too bad. The skin is beginning to be irritated....itchy, etc....pretty tired in the evenings but not drastically worse than normal this time of year.
My MUGA scan (heart) results were fine so I continue to take treatments of Herceptin once a week. Additionally, my doctor informed me that I am B12 deficient so I'm taking weekly shots of that and taking daily doses.
I also met with my gynecologist this week and scheduled my hysterectomy for Tuesday, June 23rd.
And, as of late last week, I've discontinued the wig............my very short, drastic hair shocks a few people at first, but it feels so much better than wearing the wig!!
For now, a three day weekend and only two more weeks of school left!!!

Points to Ponder
If there's a book you really want to read but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it. ~Toni Morrison
