Second to Last Day! Radiation, Day 32

March 10th — It’s finally here — tomorrow is my last day of radiation! It’s not been that bad, even though I fought it at first. Surprisingly, I’ve lost more weight in the past three months than during my six months of hard chemo. I’m at 118 pounds, down from a start of 136 or so before my surgery. My infusion nurse saw me today and grabbed my hips commenting on how thin I have become. She told me I could actually rock the fashionable “skinny jeans” the UT girls are all wearing these days. I haven’t been a fashionista since high school so I’m not sure I’m going to run out to buy the latest fashion fad. While I’m excited the end of radiation is near, I’m not really done. I still have my once-every-three-weeks Herceptin infusion, my monthly Zolodex shot, my daily Tamoxifen and Celexa pills and some nipple surgery and tattoos in my future. But, I’ll drink my bubbly tomorrow and cheer that this step is finally over.
