Another week of Radiation down. All seems to be going ok Boob is a bit red and sore some days but the Doctor gave me some cream... Called UDDER cream seriously.
When you sit in the waiting room waiting other ladies come in and you sit and wonder what they are in there for. You can tell if its breast as you have a gown on the top. Some just sit there in normal clothes so I thought it would be like their legs!
An old polish woman started talking to me telling me how tied she was and how the chemo hadn't made her hair fall out yet! So said it might not but it might. So I had to ask... What she was in for... So she goes into the whole thing (wish I had not asked now) She said for a couple of years she had trouble doing a pee and went to the doctors who said nothing to worry about. Turns out she has cancer down there and so now she has a catheter and having radiation and chemo to try and shrink the cancer before they decide to operate. I sat there thinking how lucky am I. As much as I have been through, it does seem that there is always someone worse off then you.
I have friends with issues going on and they are scared to tell you anything because they feel its not as bad as the C word. We all have a cross to bare and no matter what each of us have going on its still a problem just because its not hospital worthy or chemo related it still is an issue and they can talk to me about it. Takes my mind off it and I'm not likely to say oh shut up have cancer then you will have to worry, thats just not it. Even if you broke your leg thats still going to hurt and affect the way you are feeling so if it helps to tell someone with cancer then tell them.
After speaking with the cancer doctor and I am now back on my diet. Since November I've put on 20lbs which it crap so back on the wagon think Ive lost at least 6lbs this week so even better. Ive been out walking with the dogs each morning and bowling and feeling good at the moment. Trouble sleeping at night but thats nothing new, my mind just likes to work overtime.
Well hope everyone else had a good week
Take care
