Had a follow-up with the radiation people yesterday. They agree with me that I am amazing. I don't really mean that the way it sounds. The good facts:
1) I have no pain in my bones.
2) I have no lumps.
3) I do not have headaches or fuzzy vision.
4) My radiation scars are healing.
5) I do not have big bruises that don't go away.
6) I have energy.
7) I am able to eat normally.
8) I am not bleeding unaccountably.
We also discussed hair. And Penelope. And the possibility of removing Penelope. And children in preschool. And thyroid gland removal [hers]. I weigh 150-something.
I also snuck back to see Gary and Brooke in the tech room. The picture of Brooke and me in an outrageous hat on my graduation day is still up. They were just coming back from lunch, but at least I got to say hi and make small talk for a minute. I miss them. But I don't really want to go see them every day for radiation therapy.
My hair is getting long enough to be annoying. I trimmed the bits in front of my ears by myself a couple of Sundays ago because I couldn't stand the sticking-out business. And now I'm bothered by the bushiness on top. Ironic that I'm irritated by hair so soon after being so excited that it was growing again.
Many people have inquired about how I'm doing. I realize it's awkward sometimes, both for them and us. This blog is to document my thoughts and feelings about my Berserk Cells (euphemism for breast cancer), and to keep people appraised about my state of mind and body. This is my way of informing everyone equally so I don't forget anyone. I would love to hear from you whenever you want to comment or email or call. Caveat: I don't feel obligated to answer when I'm not feeling like it!
