Pain in the underarm and numbness of extremities has subsided. Mood is improving. Radiation therapy will start beginning of June and they’ll zap me with the full dose, targeting both the skin and the chest wall. Will get scans, ‘rehearsal’, tatoos on June 1st then on to 25-30 daily treatments. Don’t look forward to having my skin charred, but at least it won’t be painful, since I’m all numb in that area. Now biggest challenge will be to learn to live with the constant fear of recurrence, without letting that fear ruin my life. I have great models (my online breast cancer support group) to learn by, but I also know I’ll have to do the journey myself. Cancer sucks!
