Day two of radiation is over and tomorrow makes day three
then the weekend I am free. As I lay there topless on the table trying to
ignore the men that are placing marks and stickers at various points of my
upper torso I was thinking that when I had the two lazy girls very few of the
male population had seen them in their natural state. Since the Pointer Sisters
have been developed they have been seen by more men than I can keep track of.
Every day some new fella is introducing himself as he pulls my gown down to put
the Pointer Sisters on display. I am private in most respects but the weird
thing is I am getting used to all of the random people examining my two new starlets.
Radiation is the final step in my treatment although I will
not be through with the infusions until October. This past year has been filled
with setbacks and very low days but all in all the treatment for the stupid
Alien intruder has run smoothly. Yes there were days on end that I was so week
I could not eat or drink and then the issue of the surgical incisions that
refused to stay together but I have to say that I am lucky to have such
wonderful care.
The important thing to remember is that I am cancer free!
Monday there will be an ultrasound to check on that growth in my cervix to make
sure it did not grow from the original ultrasound to now. They have the feeling
that it was also a tumor but the chemo did its job destroying all alien cells
in my body. Chemo may be hard on the body but it does its job. I did learn that
it is important to remain positive and take to heart all of the prayers and
well wishes. I look forward to the remaining years with the Pointer Sisters but
pretty soon I need to wean them off of being center stage.
