Radiation-Day 12

I am 1/3 of the way done with radiation!  Things are going well!  I told the nurse yesterday that I feel great because each day I get stronger & have more energy after being so worn down by the chemo.  I'm sure this radiation will catch up with me eventually but for now I'm feeling good.
A big thanks to Dianna Finkler, Emily Mater and my Mom who rode along with me this week.  We had so much fun chatting that it made the drive go so much quicker!

We are excited to have our friends, Ryan, Angie & Holden Meyer coming to visit this weekend.  They are making the big drive from Negaunee, MI as we speak.  They weren't able to come down last year due to Ryan's health complications so it will make this visit even sweeter.  A highlight of the visit is that we get to head to the Breslin on Sunday to watch some MSU basketball!

Ever since my hair has been gone I have put lotion on my head.  I think it has helped my scalp not be so dry & itchy.  I mentioned to my friend Carrie on the phone the other day that I didn't know when I should stop putting lotion on my head since my hair is starting to come in.  She said that she thought I should stop when I put the lotion on and it acts like hair gel or mousse and creates a style.  I thought that was funny.  It made me picture myself with my hair slicked down or even with a Mohawk, the possibilities once I have more hair will be endless!
