Journal entry by J turc —
Thought it was time for an update. I finished my radiation last week! The oncologist tells me then it will take about a month before I stop feeling real tired and fatigued. Right now I'm sleeping 10 to 12 hours a night and that's with taking one to two hour naps during the day. The burns aren't too bad although they tell me that it will get worse in the first 2 weeks before it starts getting better. I'm continuing to use the two lotions that they told me to use to try to keep it from peeling. Other than that things are going well. I appreciate everyone's prayers and support during this difficult time. Please know that I'm praying for you as well. Hugs to all!
