All done with Radiation

I'm all done with radiation! I was surprised by a group of friends with party blowers & balloons for me after I rang the bell. I'm so grateful to these friends and all the others that have supported me, both near and far!

The radiation burn isn't terrible, but there are some pretty sensitive areas. Between the fresh aloe, moisturizers, and ointments I'm sure it'll heal up quickly. I'm definitely starting to feel the fatigue creeping in, but nothing like I expected. My sleep monitoring app has never been so proud of me! I'll start to reconstruct my left breast while the right side heals. I've gotten comfortable walking around in public with just one breast (I don't think most people even notice), but it'll be nice to get more balanced again. On April 17th I'm scheduled for an ooferectomy (uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries removed). We want to get those estrogen machines out of there - The cancer was being fed by estrogen. We've been blocking it and suppressing it, so this is the final step. Then I'll switch to an aromatase inhibitor as my long-term medicine (5 years).
