First day of radiation SUCKED

January 24, 2019 Monday was my first day of radiation and it went horribly wrong! They first took X-rays to make sure everything lined up with the mapping Dr. Brower did last week. If you can imagine me laying on a hard surface with both hands over my head holding onto handles and my headContinue reading “First day of radiation SUCKED”

SI joint issues

January 21, 2019 So the past week I’ve been having sciatic or SI joint issues. It would only happen like once or twice a day when getting up from the couch. It was like a shooting pain that radiated down my leg. WELL last night my dad and I were shoveling the driveway and IContinue reading “SI joint issues”

I went snorkeling today… not the kind you are thinking

January 16, 2019 So last night went well! AmyJ drained quite a bit of saline from the left breast expander. I’d say I’m half the size now. She asked if I wanted to do a reduction on the right side as well so I wouldn’t look lop-sided. I said well that would be nice Lol!Continue reading “I went snorkeling today… not the kind you are thinking”

My boobs are too big! hehe

January 15, 2019 So I received a call today from Dr. Browers office saying he didn’t like the look of the CT results. He wants me to have a reduction of the left breast expander because apparently it’s too big and will effect radiation. (First time I heard I was “too big” LOL 😂) SoContinue reading “My boobs are too big! hehe”

At one point they placed this thick, heavy, cold barrier on my chest. Dr. Brower said I will beContinue reading “Radiation mapping & tattoos”

Taking a holiday break

December 14, 2018 Hi everyone!! The rollercoaster continues. On Wednessday when Dr. Patel called to tell me the tumor board didn’t think radiation was necessary I also saw Dr. Bonnem/my oncologist the same day who believes I need it 100%. UGH! It would be so nice if everyone could get on the same page lol!Continue reading “Taking a holiday break”

Rollercoaster of a week…

December 12, 2018 Sorry for the hold up. Its been one of those rollercoaster weeks and I didn’t want to write until I was ready…. So after getting the call stating my margins were clear I was over the moon excited. I met with Dr. Patel a few days later to review the pathology resultsContinue reading “Rollercoaster of a week…”
