Started the day at 530. Had to go to treatment to get radiation treatment in Culver City, then to Santa Monica for brain and neck scans (praying for clear scans, please dear God). Then off to a one hour ordeal getting lost going back to treatment center, courtesy of a less than reliable GPS. I was so frustrated. A fifteen minute drive turned into an hour. I was flustered and frustrated, to say the least. We managed to make it back a little after 12noon. More radiation and then the two hour hyperthermia treatment. We got home after 430pm and my only consolation (and first thing I reached for) was my vanilla soy ice cream loaded with tons of pistachio nuts. It was like ambrosia. Well worth the wait.
Now back at home relaxing. It's good to be home.
About Me
- Emilie
- I am a mom, a wife, and have Stage 4 breast cancer. I was initially diagnosed in November of 2005 and was in remission until April of 2008. I have undergone various treatments, surgeries, and multiple chemo regimens. Sometimes I wonder how much abuse a mangled body could take but apparently, it could take a lot. Despite all that has transpired in my life, I do feel very blessed. I have a wonderful husband and two of the most remarkable progenies any mom could have. They complete my life and I wouldn't trade mine for anyone else's.
