Up To Date

Well I think that brings us up to date - As Carrie told you I did radiation treatment #14 on Friday, April 1 (that was no April Fool's Joke!)  That was the halfway mark!
I have had no terrible side effects from either the radiation or the chemo except for diahrrea - which they told me would be a side effect of both.
The first week that I started radiation & chemo I thought I was superwoman I guess and could do it all - but by that Friday I had found out differently!  I saved up my energy for Saturday when I knew I was going to get a visit from my two favorite little guys - Brody & Brant!!
That weekend we also had the GOTRA Spring Meeting - and I was there to do my Secretary / Treasurer thing for that!
The next week I decided to go home and rest after my radiation treatments at 3:00 on Monday through Thursday - and I felt much better.
This week I have been going back to work after the radiation treatments and that seems to be working well.
(My Friday radiation appt has bounced back between 11:45 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. so I've been working all day on Friday.)
I had decided that maybe I should cut back on going to Chancel Choir - we had started doing some long practices getting ready to do a Cantata on Easter.  I think it was a good call - but I really miss seeing my choir friends on Wednesdays - and singing with them on Sunday mornings.
I have been going to the Lenten Services on Wednesday nights since Ash Wednesday and I went to church for the first time in three weeks last Sunday.  It was great to be there - and the choir's song on Sunday was absolutely beautiful!  I had a lot of comments about how great I looked - and my response was that it was great to be seen!
