I apologize for the delay with writing on here, been crazy busy and exhausted.
I have completed 3 weeks of radiation at this point with 3 weeks more to complete. At this point, I have some minor skin irritation along the sides and top with some reddening happening however under my breast it is highly irritated. To help correct this, I have decided to go braless for a few days to see how that helps. My doctor has given me a cream and recommended vitamin E oil to help with the irritations. It definitely helps when it starts to itch like crazy.
The last week has been interesting with my energy levels, I get tired quickly. Had to co-facilitate classes on Monday and Tuesday and those days, I was dead when I got home. With the understanding I may be entering this phase, I will plan ahead my plans and if they were like today, I will rest the night before. Today, I celebrated 2 friends 30th birthdays. The first one was on the lake and the other dinner and some drinks afterwards. I didn't have any drinks since I was dead tired but rested last night so I could handle all the fun today. One of the parties was on the lake, so some tubing and boat riding. Haven't been on the lake in a while so it was nice just playing like a normal 29 year old.
During radiation, I've completed 3 books, getting ready to start book #4, met some cool peeps going through radiation, and enjoyed getting to know the staff at the office. Radiation is 10x better than chemotherapy, no sickness or balding. I can handle some burns and kick cancers ass again... and this time forever!
