A Brief Synopsis

Recently diagnosed with breast cancer, facing more surgery with radiation and possible chemotherapy... I face the biggest challenge of my life. Along with the love and support of my husband, kids, family and friends........... I type these words from my heart to share with you.

Not much longer to go!!

The countdown begins!  I just finished my fourth week of radiation.  This week was a little tougher as I battled an awful cold all week along with a 24 hour stomach bug to go with the fatigue of the radiation.  I managed to finish the week (Friday night) with a $1667 Silpada show for all my Silpada sisters out there reading the blog!!!!  That sure made me feel better!  Cold and stomach bug GONE!!!  Too bad my husband has it now, he's the last one in the house to get it, so let's be done with it for crying out loud!

I just have 3 more weeks of it and then time to schedule one last surgery.  I can't say enough about the people at the Middlesex Radiation Oncology Group, they are absolutely wonderful.  You see the same people every day and really develop some sort of friendship with them.  One of the patients that I've been seeing the last 4 weeks just  finished on Thursday and one of the radiation workers (I don't know their job title???) got teary eyed.  These people become your friends for 7 weeks, seeing them every day and talking about everything.

No doubt, I will get emotional when it's my last day.  First, because I will be done with my cancer treatments, and second, I will miss these people who I've come to call my friends; Angela, Denise, Peggy, Chet.  They all sure know how to make a crappy situation into an enjoyable portion of my day for 7 straight weeks.  And for that I am thankful.
