Yesterday I had my last round of radiation (again). I'm very happy about not being 'zapped' (as Anna dubbed it) every day, but most of all I think I'm happy about getting the time back. Although I was only in the hospital for 30 minutes or less, the round trip was an hour and a half, followed by some downtime and a nap - I was losing a good three hours or so a day. I'll take chemo until Friday and then have a four-week break for good behaviour! Higher dose chemo starts on September 12th and will run for 6 months.
We celebrated last night by going to our favourite Irish pub for some comfort food (mmm....shepherd's pie!) and a Guinness (for me, not the boys!).
Now I can get back to working full days again. Well, at least until I take vacation in a couple of weeks for the summer onslaught (am I allowed to say that out loud?) of family visitors.
In the words of a wise man..."and that's all I have to say about that".
