I am home. Radiation treatment is over. Dr. Zoberi reports that the CT scans of my chest and neck are unremarkable. Good news! I feel good, although I know my energy level isnt' up to my standard. The skin on my chest is tight and itchy and red - like a sunburn. Dr. Z. says it will get worse before it gets better and provided a prescription cream that I apply 4 times daily.
I was blessed with good traveling weather. It was raining in St. Louis this morning, but 40 degrees. By the time I got home, the temperature had dropped to the 20's, but dry. Our children will be home tonight, Aaron and Lindsay will arrive about 7:30. Grant, Tosha and I will attend candlelight services at 6:30. For me, it just wouldn't be Christmas without Christmas eve service. I have attended since birth, I think. I remember the country church I attended while growing up and my parents, who I miss especially at Christmas. I am thankful for my siblings and my family and wish them the best Christmas. It will be a very Merry Christmas for me.
For unto us a child is born, . . . And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace, there will be no end. Isaiah 9: 6-7.
God Bless you and yours.
Love to you -
Ellen

First-I would like to wish you a Blessed Christmas and the very best into the New Year!
Second-I have been following your progress and thought it would be fitting to congratulate you on the completion of your radiation treatments. YIPEEEE!!!
Third-I will beginning radiation sometime in January myself. I discovered a lump in my left breast in June and I have been following your blog since August. I'm glad you continue to share with so many.
Sending you many blessing from a breast cancer friend.
