Well I have really fallen off the bus with keeping this site updated! Let's see if I can list some bullet points to catch you all up:
- Surgery was super successful: there was 11mm of tumor removed and 3 lymph nodes (only one of which was cancerous).
- My fantastic surgeon got clear margins which means he got all the cancer.
- I thought I would bounce back in a month (hahahahaha this girl is not familiar with surgery recovery).
- Fortunately I was referred to a physical therapist and she is awesome.
- Tomorrow is my final radiation treatment! (Of 33 -- my skin is very red and peeling.)
- Then I start on hormone therapy which includes a pill every day to suppress estrogen and a shot every three months to suppress my ovaries.
Radiation has actually made me more tired than all of the chemo, but I attribute that to all the drugs they give you during chemo to counter the side effects. Really it just means I've been going to bed earlier! Not a bad lifestyle change. ;-)
