Almost There!

I thought I'd update this blog and just to let you know that I'm almost finished with my radiation treatments! I will finish next Wednesday! Yeah, almost there! It's been about 6 weeks of treatment and it wasn't too bad at all. The main problem is fatigue! That's it. It's been dragging on a little since it's everyday and it seems to be cumulative with the treatments therefore the tiredness has been harder. After this, on to the surgeon for implant inflation! I'm not sure how long that will take. They have to stretch the skin and then put in the implant as well as reconstruct the other breast to match and all!!! It will, I hope all turn out well. I'm suppose to get a tummy tuck at the same time with the surgery being about 4 hours or so. That's a bonus I hope!! As soon as the Radiation is over, I will have a PET Scan to see if there is any spreading of the cancer anywhere else. I believe it hasn't spread but in the back of my mind I can't help but be kind of scared.....especially since x-rays don't seem to be accurate for me!! I will remain positive and hopeful! God Bless all of you my friends and family! Love, Karla
