Radiation is SO much easier than chemo was.  (knocks on wood).  Ok I'm only 8 treatments in, but so far, no problems.  The biggest hassle is driving there every day but even that isn't so bad really, its only 15 minutes from here.  I haven't started photographing my boob yet, it really doesn't look much different.  There is no pain at all.  My skin is a little pink, like a mild sunburn.  I've not adjusted well to the "no bra" thing...its recommended that you go braless as much as possible, which is ok with me, but only around the house.  I am just too big to go anywhere OUT of the house with the girls flopping around.  Its not really comfortable having them hang either.  I'm going to check into reduction when I am all done with this.  Maybe I'll even get lucky and get insurance to pay for it. 

So I am 4 weeks and 2 days out from my last chemotherapy.  Take a look at my head.  I haven't seen the back of it till tonight.  It so bummed me out.

Back of my head

Its there, but its sparse.  I guess I'm not done shaving yet.  I was getting so anxious and excited about it coming back in, but its so patchy and it just looks plain stupid.  So here Nikki look, I know you think I wouldn't have lost my hair, maybe not all of it, but surely most of it.  I'm on such a pity party tonight after finally seeing the back.  Michael said, "You're hair was always thin"  ...not this thin.  Sigh
