Last full week of rads!

My cousin Darryl and his wife, Laurie, were in Orlando for a long weekend, but we didn't get to hook up. They were last here in the summer and we did the Disney thing. Between my tiredness and a few other things, we couldn't make it work this time. :( They did have a marvelous time getting some sun and fun, though. :)

Now that I'm getting my booster treatments, the zaps are focused on the area where my cancer was. Good thing, because the skin where the axillary lymph nodes were removed was starting to get irritated. The aloe vera gel does a good keeping things from getting too bad. When my radiation oncologist marked me for the boosters, he said it was hard to tell exactly where the tumor was on the CT scan because the area has healed so well. That's good, as long as I'm getting zapped in the right place!

I see my medical oncologist next Tuesday and I'll probably begin taking Tamoxifen then. I get my port removed on the 29th at my surgeon's office. The end of my big adventure is in sight!
