So Monday I told one of my doctors (because evidently not only does it take a village to raise a child but also to treat cancer) that I was ready to admit I might not be wonder woman as I have been telling them through all of this I needed time off work to rest a bit. He chuckled and said that they had been waiting for me to crash but he admitted I far exceeded every doctor, nurse and technician on my team's expectations. SO I took of 7/30 - 8/10.
Everyone told me it was an unexplainable fatigue, I got it last weekend. When my quick trip to get a couple of food items since I was going to have a guest who might want more than my ice cream beverage collection to exist on took 2 hours. I got to the checkout and was floored. I knew I was moving slow but man.......2 hours, that's normally a leisurely 6 mile walk. And then I came home and napped. LOL. So alas, it was time.
Today is 8/1/08 and yesterday was my last treatment. My dear friend Mike is here en route to visit his grandma and we have a day o' celebration planned.
Now I have to take care of all the other "stuff" that I wasn't allowed to focus on during treatment. Like dental appts, gyno visit, eye dr. Next scan in about 2 months and we wait 6 months to determine if I have to get thyroid removed from radiation damage.
More to come.
