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.

Kim,
I came accross your website awhile back while searching for anything that might be of comfort to my twin sister who is currrently going through Chemo for Lymphoma. I never in a million years thought I would check in periodically to a strangers website to see how they were doing. After experiencing this in my family I can relate to your ups and downs, etc and my heart has gone out to you. I'm so happy to hear that you are doing so well and moving forward with life. Thanks for keeping this journal so others out there don't feel so alone. Good Luck- and congratulations on finishing up your treatments! Trackbacks
