I have been neglecting my blog, how sad.
My scans turned out really good. There was a sign of only minimal
englargement of the mass in my chest (so minimal that my doctor said it
was probably only different because of the way they spliced the
images). I began radiation to my chest last Tuesday, so as of
today I have had 7 treatments. I will have 20 total (so they say,
but I know how that goes...)
I am not having any side effects yet except a little bit of disscomfort
when I swallow food (the radiation is hitting my esophogus too, so they
told me that would happen).
I had my port-a-cath removed 2 weeks ago! Hooray! I was
really concerned that my skin would be stretched out at the port
location, but it looks normal except for a little bit of bruising (and
a scar, obviously).
I am moving back to Dallas at the beginning of March. I signed an
apartment lease last weekend and I can start to move in March 5.
So I am doing fantastic. My hair is getting really thick (not too
curly yet) and I have begun exercising again (which hurts! I
guess that is what 8 months of laying in bed does to you). I have
even begun to lose some of the weight I put on during chemo.
It really hasn't hit me that this is almost over. Maybe once it is totally over it will.
