Radiation Started, only 31 to go!

I started my radiation last week, 2 down, 31 to go! Yikes! The radiation is easy, it is just the daily grind of driving to Plymouth, 14 miles, about 23 min each way. They are very nice in the Radiation Therapy Department at Jordan, there are 2 girl rad therapists, and 2 guy rad therapists that work there. Steven and Mike are my 2 new best friends, since I don't seem to get the girls that much! At this point in my treatment, everyone has seen, touched, stuck, incised, examined, biopsied, xrayed and MRI'd my boobs, so why not Steven and Mike!! I have gotten to the point I may jump of the table and head to the hall with no shirt on, boobs flapping in the wind! The only new issue is that my hair is growing back in (good, yes, but a ton of grey, or white, as Emma calls it!) But the bad news is I have to remember to shave under my arms now for Steve and Mike, my new BFF's. I would not want them to see me un-shaven! :) I had a very smooth summer, if you know what I mean!

I just can't wait for November 28th when this will all be over....well, this part of it that is! From the Mammo that started it all in April to Nov 28th will be over 7 months of doctors, hospitals, chemo, blood tests, MRI's, mammos, biopsies, surgery, radiation ect ect. UGH! After that I am sure I continue with my mammos every 6 months for a bit, and visits to my oncologist, and then on to my hair stylist to color my white when it gets longer!
