Entering my last week of radiation treatment, my radiation oncologist finished his check (seeing if my skin could stand another week of treatment), and excusing me to the treatment waiting room, said let's get you treated "and get this behind you."
So, as of last Thursday, radiation treatment is officially behind me. My oncologist's words truly resonated with me. I am extremely tired physically and emotionally but feel good knowing that I've reached another milestone. I'm grateful it's only been about a week that I've felt this tired.
Cancer treatment is an elaborate to-do list--daily tasks, long-term planning, mental exercise, spiritual pondering, physical work, etc. So now I can check off "Get radiation treatment" on the "to-do" list.
Next, I have a PET scan on May 26 and the follow-up oncologist appointment on the 29th. I expect to begin another round of chemo after that.
Thanks for your continuing prayers.

Wow, another round? I didn't see that coming. But I'm so glad you get a little time to rest and recuperate before heading into the next phase.
Do you have something fun planned to mark this milestone? Not strenuously fun, of course...

No nukes is good nukes!!! One more big step in the process completed. Hang in there, Rosa, I'm pulling for you!

So glad the radiation is over for you now. I'm glad you get a small break between that and your next round of chemo.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

YAY!!!! This is excellent news, and I love what your oncologist said. What a perfect way to put it.
