Time flies when you're having fun!

I'm on my last week of radiation treatment, wahoo! It's unbelievable how quickly the time has passed. My skin is a tiny bit rashy but not bad at all. The radiation technicians say I'm doing amazingly well. The treatments this week (and three days last week) are a "boost" to the cancer site rather than the all over breast treatment (first 25 days.) I noticed that the breast being treated has tightened and shrunk a bit with radiation treatment. I was told that this could be a side effect. It was a tiny bit smaller after surgery anyhow and seems much more noticeable to me now. The unaffected side is a bit larger and sits lower. I said to the radiation nurses this morning that perhaps we should hit the other side with the rads to even things up. Ha.

My hair is still coming in. It the texture of teddy bear fur on the top, Phoebe loves to rub it. It's maybe a quarter inch long and sticks up on top but lays flat on the sides.

I went away with some other Mom's to the cape for an overnight last Friday to Saturday. The weather was beautiful on the cape although oppressively hot back home. We went out to dinner... played games... walked a long beach on the bay side... picked up shells... did a bit of shopping... sat on an outer ocean side beach and watched some seals frolicking in the waves... wonderful get-away (thanks again Sue!) Then we had a long drive home back to slightly cranky hubbies who had to deal with slightly cranky kiddos in 95 degree heat and humidity. All was better after a good night sleep Saturday night.
