Now that I've got your attention - it's true ... I just received my first tattoos! I never imagined I would get a tattoo, not to mention three. They are really small spots or "markers" to be used by the technician to line up the machine for radiation. At the radialogist yesterday, I was given a CT scan and a mold was created to hold my head and shoulders in place while I receive radiation. I will begin radiation on tomorrow and go daily (Monday - Friday) until March 19.
Since I last wrote, I have completed my 12 rounds of chemo (since Patrick has been born). The last day was January 25. It felt so good to be done!
Yesterday was the one year anniversary of me finding the lump in my breast. Hard to believe it's been a year since all this started. To say that a lot has happened is an understatement. I've have a double mastectomy, finished remodeling our house, turned 40, undergone 18 rounds of chemo, countless blood tests, had a baby, had breast reconstruction, begun training for the 39.3 mile Avon Walk and am preparing to begin radiation. What a year!
Got to run. Baby Patrick is crying!
All my love,
Jana
