Radiation-Day 22

Two weeks and 1 day left to go in this radiation process.  Things are going well.  My skin is holding up very nicely.  My eyelashes & eyebrows...not so much.  I already mentioned in a previous blog about missing eyelashes.  Well this week I realized that my eyebrows are very thin!  It is just so weird to me that this is happening so long after my chemo.  I asked one of the oncology nurses yesterday and she said it is not unheard of but it's not very common either.
On Monday I saw the oncologist.  My lab work and chest x-ray were all normal.  While he was leaving the exam room he told me to go and enjoy life.  After thinking back over the last 5 1/2 months, I realized that I have been enjoying life all along...there were just some weeks that I enjoyed more than others!
A big thank you to the ladies who made my drives to Battle Creek so pleasant this week-my Mom, Sarah Carpenter and Shauna Swantek.  It's amazing how quick that drive can be when you are having great conversation!
