I went through 5 weeks of intense radiation treatment. I started August 19th and my last treatment was Sept. 20th. Radiation wasn't as bad I thought it was going to be ..... UNTILL the end lol. It started off with them tattooing me to plan where the beams would go, it was important to make sure they were consistent everyday. I received treatment everyday Monday -Friday and had to travel to Hamilton for each treatment. The treatment took about 10 min from start to finish. It took longer to drive there and home. I have to thank Dean for driving me to majority of my appointments and my mother for watching Alyssa majority of the time, I don't know what I would do without there help. Every week I'd meet with my radiation oncologist and she kept saying my symptoms would get worse lol. She was right, as it got closer to the end I started to experience more symptoms. My skin between thighs was red and burnt, very painful to walk. Each week got worse and worse. It was a really emotional and tough time but somehow I made it through ..... No idea how but I did!!!

I'm horrible at keeping it up to date, I always say I promise I will get better at this but it hasn't happened yet. Maybe in the New Year ???? I can't believe Christmas is NEXT WEEK .... it doesn't feel like Christmas at all; maybe that's because our weather has been so bizarre the last few weeks and we don't have any snow. I've been doing a lot of thinking the last few days about where I was last year and how far I have come. This is a special Christmas for me because I get to be home with my family and Christmas morning I can...
