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!
