Four radiation treatments left and I’m soooo ready for it to be over. The burn is a lot worse now and itches constantly. I’ve been putting the cream on it religiously but the skin still seems to be hardening up and tanning pretty badly. The doc said it will go away with time, I just don’t know how long he means.
The hair is getting much thicker and is probably almost ready to start growing. I’m keeping it short now because it’s not totally filled in and will look funny if I let it go now.
Things are a little better than the last time I posted, but cancer causes a lot more problems than just the physical illness and those are the effects I’m dealing with now. It’s very unpleasant. I think I’d take chemo over this any day.
Looks like some kind of bizarre tanning accident.....
Anyway, here are some new pics of my rockin’ tan.
Hi John & Lanie:
We are counting down with you. The itching must mean it is trying to heal. We are glad that you have some cream that helps. Your hair looks good and soon you will have to be combing it back. The good part is that you are counting down and the radiation will be a thing of the past. All of your family are there with you even tho there are a lot of miles between us and you. Our thoughts are with you as we love you both. Lanie, you both will be so strong after this is over. Mountains are just little hills to climb – one at a time. We love you both………Grandma & Grandpa
It’s January 8, 2009 and I wanted to wish you both all our love and best wishes for your very first wedding Anniversary! Momma
