1 down 15 to go

I had my first radiation treatment yesterday it was a piece of cake, just like going for a CT scan. The first one was a little longer than normal as they have to get me all set up in the machine and they draw little lines on me. I also got one more dot tattoo yesterday so now I have 4 in total. I have my 2nd appt at 9:12am today. I found after radiation I felt fine but I was really tired yesterday afternoon. They say it makes you tired so I guess its par for the course.

Yesterday I also went and got fitted for my prosthesis and got my new bra. It felt kinda weird to have a bra back on and to look in the mirror and see 2 boobs. I will have to wait now until after my radiation to wear it as they don't want anything to irritate the area during treatments.

Well enjoy your week.

Radiation time

I got the phone call this week my first radiation appt is this Monday at 1pm. I have 16 appts so I should be done with all of my radiation appts by Sept 11.

We went camping last weekend at Lightning Lakes, it was absolutely amazing and we had beautiful weather. I even rowed the boat across the lake, I have to say that my one arm still needs some work there was alot of extra rowing on one side lol.

This week has been a busy one we have had my Grandpa at our house.  His Dementia is getting worse so it is sometimes hard for him to communicate what he wants. It has been great to see him though I hope he has enjoyed time away from his home. My sister Darcie is going to take him back on Saturday.

Marcel and I are looking forward to more fabulous weather this weekend. Sunday is the Mierau bbq I don't think I will be out tubing but looking forward to watching Amanda try to wake board. I am pretty sure Breanna will be knee boarding too. Have a great week!

See you in 6 months.....

I went and saw Dr Wiggins my surgeon yesterday, he is very pleased with my progress since my surgery 2 weeks ago. So pleased he said he would see me in 6 months, what a great feeling.

Next Wednesday, August 8th is going to be a busy day I have 3 appts at the cancer clinic. In the morning I go to meet the radiation team to start getting ready for radiation. At noon I meet with the hereditary program for the 1st time to see what that entails. Finally in the later afternoon I will meet with Dr. Uhlman my oncologist to see what her thoughts are. I haven't seen her since my last chemo treatment and she will now have my pathology reports as well. So we will see what she has to say, I also think we will now start my hormone therapy....my poor husband lol!

I hope everyone has a great weekend, make sure you wear sunscreen it's gonna be HOT!

Talk to you soon,
