Last

Last, but certainly not least I start radiation treatment tonight. My radiation oncologist is so busy they are radiating folks from 7am to 9pm. So tonight at 8:45pm I start radiation treatment. I go 5 days a week for 28 days.

I am thankful this will be over soon. I find myself in a panic sometimes about the cancer coming back or reoccurring somewhere else. I know this is normal. I also know I should allow myself to wallow for a while in the fact that I had such a successful outcome from the chemo. I am trying and most of the time I can wallow, but in the deep dark crevices of my heart and mind I am terrified. I have 3 years of real honest to god worrying. If it comes back it is most likely to do so within 3 years. After that the chances decrease every year.

I am finally getting a little hair growth. Some fuzz mainly. With that said I am sharing the photos below in honor of all of those who have gone before me and all of those who go after.
