Well HI!! How are y'all? :) I am doing really good since I have been released from chemo! What a wonderful thing! I have not started radiation yet. I start Tuesday, 6/19 and end Friday 8/3. This is for 33 treatments (down from 37 that they had told me) every day five days per week, M-F at 9:15am. I have 6 qty 1" or so tuquoise blue "X"'s on me so that they know where to laser me (that's the best way to say it, I guess). This will be much easier than the chemo. I expect I should continue about my normal day. They say there is fatigue and sunburn/tightness feeling in skin, especially as time goes on. My hair is coming back. It's very curly and very dark with gray- I would like to say it was the chemo that did that, but don't think so- I think it was Lynn Imaging, just a hunch- okay or my husband. ;) Kidding. :)
I have been working a lot lately. Feel kind of back to how things were...always behind, always rushing. :) I need to work on this. I ate well for about a week. I was inspired and had the momentum to last me a few days. Will be getting back on that soon. Maybe have to do a formal WW meeting?
Love to you!
Amanda
Wait...I have five more minutes!
"Welcome to Amanda's five minutes. Thanks for spending this time with me as we go through a series of treatments and surgeries to kick the butt of Breast Cancer...why 5 minutes? I always need five more minutes to clarify a conversation, to make my point, to drive to an appointment, to grocery shop. I live in that 5 minutes close call on being almost too late but almost always on time! Now, every next five minutes is the survival of my life. This is about a transformation of priorities, a journey of God meeting me in the middle, laughing as I go, and learning how to relax and get well. I just got a knock at the door, guess what my response was...Five more minutes!"
