It’s been a year and I’m back in this chair. This time for a medicine to help with bone strength due to the medications I’m taking to reduce a reoccurrence. Cancer SUCKS!!!

By no means do I enjoy cleaning but I’m so thankful I have the energy to clean my house today. This past year there were time when a task like washing the counter off was physically so exhausting I couldn’t do it. These days the smallest things remind me how lucky I am to have my health!

Today is my last day of radiation!!! The radiation techs have been asking me if I want to ring the bell. Honestly, no! I just want to walk out of the Cancer Center and not have to go back. If only that were the case but at least I don’t have to go daily anymore. I’m looking forward to checking this one off my list of goals I set when diagnosed. It’s been an intense year but with the help and support of Ryan Locy as well as all our family and friends we’ve tackled some pretty amazing accomplishments.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted an update. I’ve really not posted much because I was just living life and treatment has been going smoothly. I’ve completed 9 rounds of radiation and have 11 to go.

Headed to Thedacare Regional Cancer Center this morning for a CT scan in preparation for Radiation. Not looking forward to another treatment and the potential side effects. Ready for this to all be behind me! I’m back to work and feeling more like myself so hoping radiation doesn’t slow me down again.

I saw Plastics this morning and was told my incisions are healing well. Tomorrow I meet with Radiology to learn what the plan is. Thursday I follow up with Oncology to discuss treatment after radiation. My hair is growing back and chemo brain is easing up. I finally feel alittle more like myself!

Home and resting!

I made it through surgery! The lymph node that was previously positive came back negative during the initial pathology report. Dr. Bermas still felt it was best to do a full Axillary Dissection. She also suggested admitting me for the night. I’m doing very well. They are just being cautious as my heart rate was elevated in recovery. I FaceTimed my babies, my amazing momma and sisters. Ryan went home to tuck the girls in and grab some snacks as the hospital kitchen is closed. Perk of being two blocks from the hospital. I‘ll update when I get home. For now I’m going to try to get some sleep. Love you all and so thankful for your support!!!

Thank you to everyone that has sent their love and support. I really appreciate all the thoughts and prayers. It is going to be a long day but I am feeling ready. I’ll update when I can.
