Treatments Done

Chemo done. Radiation done. Wow!
I have started calling myself a survivor... seems odd. I guess you could say I've been surviving since diagnosis, but I have now gone from surviving to survivor! There is not a day that goes by that this disease does not impact me. From physical to emotional to pyschology. My thoughts are filled with it. But it gets better. I think and talk and dream of other things again.
We went on vacation after radiation. My husband and daughters and I went to Kalahari (Sandusky, OH) - it is the largest indoor water park in the U.S. Well worth the trip and money. We had a blast. My girls loved it and so did Al and I. We went on all the rides and really enjoyed our time together. The idea came from Linda as she was going with her family and we joined in and extended our stay with an extra day. What fun!
The cholorine and being wet so much and so long were not idea for my radiation site. It was very itchy and has really started to peel. But, I enjoyed it and would do it over again. I am starting to heal. My skin was very burned and now is a dark shade and like I said it has started to peel. Nothing that time and cream won't fix.
Looking forward to the weekend and preparing for the first day of school on Tuesday!
