Hello:
today, July 21, 2010, I finished my radiation treatment at Hadassah Ein Karem. This part, compared to the 2 series of chemotherapy were a relative breeze. Fatigue accompanied me all the way thru' cancer, and I mean utter fatigue. But the nauseousness and general bad feelings of inability to eat, to drink, to be somewhat of a person only came back when I was doing the radiation. I am afraid to say 'hallelujah' yet, although I am so very thankful that hopefully, the cancer of the breast is now negligent. Of course, we may not know for many years to come if it totally succeeded.
But due to some family concerns, I may need to do more testing and/or removing of another anatomical part to ensure no further cancer. But I will write more about that after I return to my oncologist and have further discussions. In the meantime, I will have regular breast examinations, mammograms, ultra sounds, etc. and regular visits to my oncologist on an ongoing basis.
I cannot say that I am dancing on clouds, as I have this reserved worry. But I am so thankful for coming this far. I haven't announced it yet to anyone, so you, my readers, are the first to know that I have completed this 9 month siege on my body. Lucky are those who can only identify with
9 months of pregnancy and can go home with a lovely newborn. But to go home knowing that everything was done to eradicate this cancer is indeed wonderful.
I continue to pray for myself, and for all sick people that I know about, and don't know about. I wish you each good health and speedy recoveries.
I welcome any comments from you back to me.
Yours,
chaya bat sarah bayla
