Because there were 7 lymph nodes which tested positive, I will have apx. six weeks of radiation. I'll go five days a week, starting early in January. I have an appointment for January 3rd, where I'll have a scan and they'll prepare all of the settings and marking for those treatments. Most people get something similar to a sun burn where they're radiated and he tells me I may become tired by the end of that six weeks.
Whatever :)
I can do this!
In other news, I am simply enjoying the holiday season! I've been Christmas shopping, had several appointments, and spent some time with friends this week. I also had my first haircut in 8 months! (yaay!) Some might look at my hair and say "what was there to cut?" but it was getting a little scraggly around my ears and in the back. Christy (who's been my hair dresser for many years) was actually on vacation the week that I needed it shaved, so she missed that milestone. She was excited to have me come in and said it is growing back beautifully! Thick as ever and not patchy at all, very nice. Most likely I'll eventually color it, but for now I'll take what I've got and be grateful for it.
This is my friend Sandra, a two year survivor! We had chai tea together on Thursday.
