7 days since....

It's been a week since I had my final Radiation treatment. It took 7 weeks to accomplish with machine breakdowns and the Labor Day Holiday, but I survived all 33 of them with flying colors. As of today, you can hardly tell that I underwent treatment. My skin is barely red. I do consider myself very fortunate.

My hair is growing back. It is about an inch long and swirling all over the place. In the front I have some hair that sticks straight up and just won't stay down. We call it my Q-Pee Doll curl. The only bummer about the hair growing back is that it is also growing back on my legs and I have had to start shaving them again. Bummer. Not having to shave your legs is really a positive side effect of cancer :) My eye lashes are coming in wavy too. I am hoping they will straighten out in the near future.

Next Friday, the 25th, I have another chemo treatment. Dr. W. is starting to take blood again to watch my calcium levels. They are elevated and cause for some minor concern.

I been tired lately. I was told the fatigue from Radiation would last for awhile. They weren't kidding. Sometimes after the kids are off to school, I'll go back to bed. My weight is down again but I kind of like it.

That's all I can think of to tell you about today. Aruna and I are off to visit my mom for the weekend. Andrei is going to the Badger Football game tomorrow with his friends and Scott is just going to relax after a long week - but only after he gets his list of things to do done :)
