Well, Friday was 24th treatment and Monday, last 25th last external radiation, can't say I enjoyed any of the last 5 weeks. The girl stated when I was leaving, see how fast it went by, I giggled Ha. All I can say, I am so glad I don't have to leave work early 4 days a weeks, hurrah. Won't miss diarrhea days, did find the Imodium gel tablets worked the best. Skin will be glad no more irritation, getting very irritated Next, Brachy on Monday the 13th, and following friday last Brachy. Not looking forward to it at all. Am seeing the Chemo Dr. on Monday, my port woke me up 2 nights this last week aching. They flushed it so has felt better but no blood so am going to see him, so they can decide what to do since didn't work last time had chemo either. Oh, and was told by radiation Dr. see you in 3 months, I said week after week, month after month and only alittle while after last chemo treatment. Seems like never ending.
More after the brachy, have been given directions about dilatators. So, scare tissue doesn't build up and cause pain for future exams or if I ever want to have sex again.
