Hello all. It's almost time to start radiation. I am anxious to get started so that I can get done. My first treatment is tuesday June 5th. Very special day!! :) I will have 33 treatments. Everyday Monday through Friday. It is going to be more of a nuisance than anything because we will have to drive to Seattle every day. But oh well, it is what it is. My friend Libby said that radiation is a breeze compared to everything else we have went through. I may start to feel some fatigue after a few weeks of treatment and my skin will start to feel burned after a while.
I went this last week and got my prosthesis. It's weird and really heavy. Not sure this one is going to work for sure or not. I also got a couple bra's and Nordstrom sewed a pocket into them for the prosthesis. I can't wait to have reconstruction so I can be more normal. It's kind of a pain to use the prosthesis. I haven't used it in a swim suit yet. Going to try that out this weekend. We don't really swim, but I do like to wear a swim suit.
Also my hair has started to come back....woot woot! Hair has started coming in every where haha. I haven't shaved for months and I am back to shaving daily, ughhh. Not complaining, happy to have something normal again :)
I have been training for my Susan G. Koman 3-day walk :) I have been walking 3-6 miles everyday. I have 3 team members walking with me. Jody Nelson, Courtney Edelbrock and Courtney's friend Jenn. I am so excited for this event. Courtney and I are walking tomorrow. Haley and Dan have also been great walkers with me. I have such a great support team. I am lucky!!
I will be going back to work on the 13th of June. I am a little concerned because I will have to walk over to treatment everyday and I feel bad because I will have to miss some work to do this. I have been gone for weeks then when I come back I will miss some work again. They are all wonderful to me. I love my work and my co workers SO much!! I just can't wait till all of this is behind me and I can just go to work and be normal.
