Well I am at the half way mark on the radiation treatments. That's 3.5 weeks down and 3.5 more to go! While I am still tired all the time it is not nearly as bad as it was during chemo. I am also starting to see the radiation burn on the right side of my chest, neck and under my arm. I am putting lotion on 3-4 times a day to help with that. The doc says the skin looks really good for this point in the treatment. I had seen some really nasty pictures of breasts after radiation so this was a big concern for me. Everything was looking so good since the surgery, I want to to do all I can to keep things looking good.
In other news, I have been trying to get out little more now that I am feeling better and the weather is getting nicer. Last week was my birthday. We went to brunch on Sunday to a restaurant here in Denver that Justin Timberlake is part owner. Clearly he didn't get the invite to my brunch because he was a no show. Oh well. I had french toast and a Bloody Mary!!
I celebrated the Rockies Opening Day last week. Boy was it nuts downtown! But it was fun. I had a beer but it did not taste very good. My tastebuds are still not back to normal. That could take a while from what I have read.
Sunday I went shopping looking for a dress for an upcoming wedding. The sales associate was so helpful and patient. She kept brining me all different things to try. Dresses I would have never picked myself but it was fun trying them all on. In addition to a dress for the wedding, I got one for a fashion show I am going to in Vegas in July!
I also went back to the gym tonight. While I am not cleared to go back to the bootcamp style workouts yet, I tried the 30 min core class tonight. It was hard and I am beat but it was good to see my gym friends and feel a bit like my "old self".
I know it will be a while before all this is behind me. But I want to start to get a little more of my routine back. Even if just 1 day a week. And if i am doing more, I will have some things to write about! I know it was few and far between here for a while but there wasn't much to write about besides not feeling well and sleeping.
Thank you for sticking with me! xoxo
