treatment on Monday and it looks like I will be officially finished with active treatment. This week they have been doing what is called scar boost. This is when they radiate only my scar....this is also when all of my skin from the other areas of my radiation breaks down, they tell me this can continue for 6-8 weeks.... I am hoping I can rally a bit quicker than that.
The temperature of my body is so high and it seems to intensify at night...I just can not seem to get the house cool enough for comfort when I sleep. I shock the poor dog every time I touch her and the static cling in my body is almost funny.... note the almost!
I will have to take 2 weeks off of my physical therapy due to the skin breaking down, there is not too much they can do without damaging it further. Then I will resume working on getting this arm moving and the nerve damage in my shoulder straightened out too.
I appreciate the messages, emails and texts from those of you who have sent them.. I also know that many of you are keeping the positive thoughts and prayers coming my way too and I thank you all for those too. It has been a hell of a journey and while it is not over quite yet, it hopefully will get a little easier soon.
Happy Easter all!
