Well, I've finally gotten my schedule for radiation treatment. It's very simple. starting May 27th at 1:20 and every weekday thereafter through June 30th I will be at radiation therapy. I go in this Thursday for a "simulation" where they set up the machine with all the computer coordinates and I get to be positioned, which will be some variation of laying on my back with my arm over my head. This is rather exciting as this is the beginning of the end, of treatments at least. I will always have a couple of nasty scars and be totally lopsided as reminders of this adventure and will be seeing doctors every three months for several years so it's not like I get to shake hands and say goodbye to cancer forever, but it will no longer be in the forefront of my daily life. One less than fun note, I'm not allowed to go swimming until after radiation has ended and my skin has healed which wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have a pool in the backyard that Larry keeps telling me is so wonderful right now. So at least it will be something to look forward to and in the meantime Cait has gotten a job at Gunther's Ice Cream Parlor so that may just have to make up for the not fun stuff.
Other good notes, I'm learning how to do lymphatic massage and growing all sorts of sprouts, broccoli, alfalfa and radish, which are supposed to be super nutrient packed, so it's all healthy and tasty. I've always like sprouts and Cait has loved alfalfa sprouts since she was little so she's getting into it too.

How great that things are moving along. Too bad about the no swimming thing ... but it will be worth it in the end.
And Congrats to Cait on her job. So you'll definitely have to indulge in that once in a while as a reward.
