Had my 12th treatment yesterday so I ONLY have 23 more to go! It doesn't seem quite so long when I think of it that way. And so far so good. I had my weekly meeting with Dr. Trivette on Wednesday and he said he could see some redness already and to keep moisturizing. I hope to goodness that emu oil works!
The skin discoloration has allowed me to see the area that is radiated. It goes higher up under my arm than I had anticipated but that makes sense because it needs to get the area of the lymph nodes. And that is the area that has some swelling and irritation but it is not unbearable ... I just slapped on more emu oil!
My reward to myself to mark the end of this week was to go to the movies to see The Help with John and Sarah. I loved the movie ... it made me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe (quite scary); made me cry, and saddened me as well.
Now I'm off to do something I can't put off any more (not if I want to be able to go clothes shopping) ... weeding my closet! Perhaps there is some element of the hoarder in me because I find it very hard to throw anything out. It's got to be done ... off I go ... going now ... really.
