Radiation has been nothing short of a cake walk compared to surgery and chemo, but it is time consuming with the drive to and from. I have completed seven treatments so far, only 26 left. UGH!!!! It is going well, very uneventful so to speak. I almost didn't blog this week because not much is going on with the treatments. I haven't gotten red, had any flesh falling or peeling off, or become radioactive. Dakota did have to ask though, this coming from the boy that does believe that there is life out there and wants to visit area 51. LOL! HUGE imagination that one:) Since radiation, except for the travel, has been so boring I have started to gamble, well sort of. I am buying a lottery ticket each day to count down the days and possible recoop some gas money. It does give me a little RUSH to scratch and see if I am a winner. He He! Not exactly christian I know, but give a girl a break:)
I haven't really shared the fact that through this journey I have had a few times that I FREAKED OUT, because I thought I had a local recurrence on my scar line. IF breast cancer comes back it sometimes returns in or around the scar line and looks like a pimple or rash. I have had two heat rashes and recently developed a raised area along the scar after radiation started. I once again FREAKED. I went immediately to the radiation oncologist and had him look at it and he said....Definitely NOT cancer, just a ridge from the skin stretching and the radiation itself. I was once again relieved. Having cancer is HARD but living each day inspecting yourself for any lumps, bumps, or pimples SUCKS! I will always be vigilant when it comes to checking my self out and following up with the doctor but it doesn't make it SUCK any less. As I said today, I was born at a designated time and also have a designated time to die. No amount of worry or wondering how or when is going to change it. So instead I am going to live a healthy, FULL, rewarding life and thank God each day. Living for today and not worry about tomorrow, tomorrow will take care of itself. God has it covered, and I put ALL my faith and trust in him and his plan for me.
Until next time, peace out peeps.....but I will leave you with a verse, one of my favs, and a song. God bless you and please continue to pray for me though this journey.
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Matthew 6:26
