Week 4 of Radiation completed!

21 sessions completed 9 more to go! Dr. Still says all looks good. Skin will start to peal soon she says. And only four more sessions that will continue to affect my throat. The last five sessions will be a boost that concentrated on my chest wall.

I actually felt ok Friday. I remember Thursday feeling like I could just lay on the floor waiting for radiation. I was so tired I recall thinking, “damn if I had a pillow I would lay down on the floor”. It is crazy how it can hit you at anytime. I hope the next nine session aren’t bad. Then hopefully a little break before I start the next phase of this journey.

It is amazing how many phases there is. What I have learned for sure is that you have to roll with the punches and try not to plan to much out. When you think you have a game plan in order the plan changes. Another thing that’s been on my mind is all the people that say they are cancer free after treatment or surgery. The truth is that we are not cancer free. We are NED (No Evidence of Disease). I remember wanting to post so badly that I was cancer free after my DMX (double mastectomy) and my oncologist said no you are NED. And explained it. So for now I am a NED cancer survivor! I’ll take it!

I am blessed! I got this!
