And today was number 8. I realized it is about 1/3 through the first portion of the radiation. There are 25 whole breast treatments and then 5 "boost" treatments aimed at the tumor site. In an attempt to feel like I'm making significant progress, I started telling myself, 'I'm a third through this part' on the drive home. There is progress, I know, I've already gotten through a lot. This cancer business just sucks. I don't recommend it.
Wednesday I can lend a helping hand by sitting with another survivor in-between appointments. It's nice to be helping for a change - I've been accepting help for 6 months. I'm ready to be the one GIVING. And I am also planning to write down all the things that I want to throw in a fire at New Years; location TBA.
