Burn baby burn, that's the story of radiation. But this has been a journey for sure. It has taught me a lot. Who my friends are--and who is NOT my friend! Who is there for me and who is NOT. Who is whiney and who is strong--(when you go through this you don't have a lot of patience for those who complain of stubbed toes and the like). My staff has been beyond reliable and incredible. They are rocks and all went the extra 100 miles to outperform themselves. They also were excellent about pointing out many blips in my life and telling me how valuable I am and who takes advantage of my generous nature. They looked at the people and things I could give up that were not helping me and were stressful. And my radiation team at Rush University Medical Center was wonderful--Jim and Sandy were a joy to see every day. I will miss them but will not miss this treatment at all. I hope anyone going through it will find a positive outlet as I have. It's easy to be angry and bitter--indeed you have a right to be--but get over it or it will ruin what's left of your life. Thanks to all who have supported me through this--cannot tell you what it meant. I will be updating periodically as I now start hormone therapy for 5 years and constant checkups to see if cancer is gone and if so (pray) make sure it doesn't return or is caught immediately.When I walked in office this AM here's what I found:
