Finished With Chemo and Heading Into Radiation

I finished chemo on 7/22; what a relief to have that behind me! The only lingering symptoms of the chemotherapy are hot flashes and fatigue. This past Monday I met with the radiation oncologist and had a CAT scan that is used to located the treatment fields. I will go back on this coming Monday, 8/17, for a “dress rehearsal” appointment at which time I will schedule my radiation appointments for the next six weeks, five days a week. The plan right now is to wait until after the 19th to start the treatments since that is the first day of school.

It is hard to believe that five months have flown by since my diagnosis! We are praising the Lord for the strength He has provided our family during this time and thanking Him for you and your prayers.

Love,
Kelly
