A bit crispy, but the radiation is done!
Wow, how excited I was to finish up my radiation today! It was simple and good, but just am so pleased to have it done. I got crispy is some places but have good stuff to put on it. I'm just so glad that they can raise our odds with the radiation. It felt like I was really doing something to fight this disease each day. I had such sweet care and will miss them. Now four more months of Herceptin and then ? whatever is next! I'm so glad you guys visit the board regularly. It just makes such a difference. ma
