Radiation Graduation Day

I feel like a kid who just started summer vacation. I am finished with radiation! I am so excited!!!

My radiation oncologist said my current reddened state is expected. He said he will continue to monitor me closely since I am such a "special" breast cancer patient with such an extreme reaction to radiation. My next appointment with him is on July 10th.

Tomorrow I meet with the medical oncologist to discuss the next phase of my treatment--blocking estrogen in my body.

Today I am officially a "survivor." In cancer terms, you don't become a survivor until you finish all your treatment. I must say that I have felt like a survivor from day one of diagnosis. Now I can officially call myself a survivor.

Joy!
