IT'S OVER!
It's over it's over it's over!!! My last day of radiation was Tuesday. It's now Thursday. It's kind of a surreal feeling knowing that I don't have to see another Doctor until July (after I get my port removed on May 11th). Radiation went VERY well. For those of you who don't really know anyone who has had radiation treatment...it's basically like a big rotating MRI machine looking thing. It makes alot of noise and buzzing. My treatments took about 10 minutes. Pretty painless..except for the 3 tattoos they put on me to mark where they centered the radiation. (Yes, they are permanent) They're just little black dots that look like freckles. Since my radiation was centered on my throat and chest..I had some difficulty eating solid foods for about a week. But other than that I can't complain, it all went pretty quick and smoothly. Anything is better than chemo.
My hair is starting to grow back. Prenatal vitamins and Biotin supplements work prettttyyy good! I'd say some of my regrowth is about 2 inches now. I'm meeting with a stylist today to see if extensions are a possibility in the near future. I don't really want engagement pictures done with my Beetlejuice hair, as I call it.
Also exciting news, I start back to work next week! And I graduate in December! Yay for life being good! :) Here's a song that likes to make me cry...enjoy!
You are such an inspiration!! Love you!!! Enjoy your future!!!
