Update on me. :/

[goldenguru]

Hello dear friends! I have really missed you all.

Sadly, one of the more annoying side effects of my chemo therapy has been the toll on my eyesight. The world has been quite a blur since about December. Computers, tv's, etc. have been the worst. So, consequently, I haven't been on the computer with-o the aide of hubby. Good news is that the world is clearing up.

I have officially finished all recommended treatments. 20 weeks of chemotherapy followed by 35 radiation treatments. Sense of humor intact mostly. I am seeing a surgeon on Monday to consult about a hysterectomy. Don't need those parts anymore - figure I might as well be rid of them.

Just as parenting a prodigal child has made me a stronger warrior mom, so has breast cancer made me a stronger woman. So at some point I think I'll actually be glad for this part of my journey.

And for those who care to listen - GET MAMMOGRAMS AND YEARLY MANUAL EXAMS!! Do self checks. It may save your life.

Hugs you wonderful ladies!

What a wonderful thing to see you post. I think of you often. You are handling your challenges as you always do, with humor, dignity and warrior woman mentality. It seems to have helped you get through this and is a model for all of us for when we face our own private challenges.

GG,

How wonderful to hear from you! Im glad you have officially finished all those treatments. Ugh. The hysterectomy should be a breeze after all that!

Was the eyesight problem from chemo or radiation? My dad was recently dxd with lung cancer and has started a round of 32 treatments of radiation treatments. He has completed 14 days now I believe and just started getting some side effects. I hope he has as good an outcome as you sound like you have had.

 

[gcvmom]

I hope all the treatments are effective and that you achieve 100% remission! When will you know for sure?
