On to the next step....

I've been lazy... haven't been keeping up with my updates on here. But, I'm back!

So... It's been a little over 3 weeks since #6! My taste buds are back to normal, I feel pretty good, I'm a year older, and I've gained back all the weight. Fun times! Still no hairs, though.

I just finished my first week of radiation, which is an interesting experience in itself. It doesn't give me any side effects (I guess, other than fatigue and a possibility of a tan/sunburn of the area.) so that's all that matters!!  Too many men have seen my boob(s) by this point, though. On the first day of my radiation,  my 2 radiology technicians (one male, one female) were joined by 2 male students.  I should be used to it by now, because I've managed to have only male doctors (the oncologist who did my surgery, the hemotologist oncologist who planned out my chemo, and now my radiologist dr.)

I also had a PET scan this week... and they made me drink a full cup of barium. Lemon-chemical-licious!

The radiation is going to be every weekday for about 7 weeks. So, 5 down and approx 30 left to go...
