I have 6 radiation treatments left! I’ll finish up next week. The final phases of radiation is catching up with me a little more than I thought it would and is causing a bit of a struggle, but I am so close to being done! My face is pretty “sunburned”, I have mouth sores, I’ve lost my taste, I’ve lost my eyebrows, and the inside of my nose and eyelids are painfully dry with scabs. The face is a pretty sensitive area so I’m taking it easy until I’m fully finished. 

Some good news though! Overall my body and energy is recovering well post chemo. I’ve been working a little bit each week on my computer doing some behind the scenes stuff for our therapy clinic. I’m blessed with a flexible job that will allow me to work remotely when I’m recovering from my stem cell transplant. I had a follow up with my oncologist and my high liver enzymes and low thyroid levels from the chemo have recovered and normalized on their own without medication—praise God! 

We have another round of scans in 2 weeks to make sure I’m fully cleared to move forward with the stem cell transplant, so praying for continued good news on that. Were tentatively planning for my transplant in the middle of June. I’m looking forward to having a few weeks off between radiation and the transplant. 

Thank you for all the continued love and prayers 🥰
