On to the radiation...

Well tommorrow I go to see the radiation oncologist to discuss the last phase of treatment. I am hoping that this goes quickly with minimal side effects. From what I've been told, the side effects aren't bad, just a lot of tiredness. Oh well.

I am a little concerned about the radiation because I have had some breathing issues in the last few weeks and I'm afraid that it might get worse. I'm hoping the shortness of breath and such are just symptoms of some sort of respiratory infection or cold and NOT lung toxicity from the bleomycin used in the chemotherapy. I guess we'll have to do some more tests and wait a little longer to find out.

If you can believe it, it's snowing here today!!! What the hell?! I'm ready for summer.......it'll be here soon enough though. In other news, we move into the house in 3 weeks and are both very excited. Just can't wait to get everything moved and done!! Sarah got a car as well because we'll need two when we move.

I really don't have a whole lot more to write about. Same old same old. Just anticipating the move and the conclusion of the treatment. Wish us well!!! I'll do the same for all of you :)
