What has happened in the last month? Well, I totally de-cancered my house! What does that mean? Well my sofa bed has been out since last November. So I folded it up, put all my get well cards away, put my medicine away and tried to make my house to look as normal as possible.
I also have started radiation. My treatment is daily Monday through Friday for 5 1/2 weeks. Currently, I just finished my 4th week. I only have 1 1/2 weeks left. The treatments don't hurt at all. Just hurts to stretch my arm over my head for 15 minutes since I don't have my full range of motion in my left arm yet. I do get really tired at the end of the day so I usually go to bed around 8pm so I can get plenty of rest. At the end of the 5 1/2 weeks of radiation I'm pretty much done with my cancer treatments. After that I will take a pill called Tomaxifin every day for 5 years. This is like a hormone pill so I think the side effect are minimal.
After my treatments I finish reconstruction which will take awhile because you have to wait several weeks between steps.
In the meantime, I have starting working full-time and taking care of my mom on the weekends. She is doing okay. She is declining and we are not able to take her out anymore. Please pray for her. God is guiding us through this journey.
That's it for now, I will write more later. Hope you have a day filled with love and laughter!
God Bless You!

The dreams I dream for you are deeper than the ones you're clinging to, more precious than the finest thing you knew and truer than the treasures you pursue. Let the olds dreams die like stars that fade from view, then take the cup I offer and drink deeply of the dreams I dream for you. -Avalon-
