Well, I'm done with the radiation. When I had radiation with my breast cancer, 13 years ago, I worked through the whole six weeks. The only effect I remember was that I was pretty tired. Now my nurse tells me I am older, and that the breast is an external organ and this time they are going into the core of the body so that is why I have felt so bad....yeah...never had morning sickness with six kids! Anyway, she also tells me that the nausea won't go away immediately, but she did give me some compazine to take at home, and this morning I ate two waffles and one eggs so may it will help. Yesterday I had another IV solution of something that made me feel better.
I mean from the bed to the recliner to the couch....for almost two weeks now!
So I have been less than nice....when I joked about grinding up my warfarin and putting in Sydney coffee, the priest though I should go to confession. Well, he don't know Sydney!
When I was on the phone talking with a friend and the American Cancer Society interrupted my phone call to see if I would go door to door in my neighborhood, I wasn't nice!
And when my employer, my RN supervisor called to see if I wanted to renew my CPR certification in July, I asked her if there was self-administered CPR? Poor gal, she is convinced I will live long enough to work another year...she might be right.
My radiologist, who is leaving the clinic in two weeks, said I will recover my strength and live a long time. Well, long is a subjective word I guess, but I like it. My oncologist is also leaving the clinic in Aug. So I might just as well get over this whole thing and get on with life. I think, don't know, but think that Benefis is driving the physicians out of the clinic?
Sydney's brother and and his wife will be here sometime today and I'm sure they will have a lot of complaining to do about our weather. They are traveling from AZ.
I hope I didn't bring this weather on. In March I was feeling like I would not see another winter and I asked God for some more snow....Sorry....I have a direct line to him you know....Well friends, family, and readers...I'm going to enjoy a show where I can wash off all the marks made for the radiation and try to get on with the rest of the spring........

I hve had a lot of positive remarks about my story and although I am not making money with it, I am glad I did it. It is one of those things that people always say, "you should write a book," so I did. I like to write and I hope you will enjoy reading what I post.
