Radiation has started!

I have started radiation and so far it is a walk in the park compared to chemo. I have had 7 treatments so far, so that means I only have 26 to go! The whole process only takes 6-7 minutes, so it isn't that big of a deal. So far I haven't experienced any side effects. I do occassionally have the sensation of getting a sunburn on my breast, but then that sensation goes away. It is probably all psychological! At times, I truly feel like I am losing my mind!

I have also started (slowly) to train for the 3-day walk. I started out with a vengeance, but then my heals hurt and I felt really tired, really fast. So, I slowed it down a little. I am sure once I am used to it, the training will be ok. I am still really looking forward to the walk. How many times have I used the word really so far. Must be my word of the night! Anyway, regarding the walk, please donate money!! I have a lot more to raise and I can really use your help! Check out www.the3day.org. Search my name or the team name "Hags and Heroes". You have no idea how appropriate that name is. We are all a bunch of hags deep down, but everyone on the team is also a hero. Not just in fighting cancer, but bringing new lives into the world while sometimes saving lives at the same time, leaving asshole husbands and starting life over with a smile, being a single parent of children that don't appreciate it (or of children that do!), etc. We all shine. Which is why I love my teammates so much!
