Hi Everyone:

So I only have TWO treatments left for Radiation due to Breast Cancer, its been a long and hard 7 weeks.

But I also have what is called a Radiation Cough and my lungs (one) have been effected, they want me on steriods for 8 weeks, I have no idea what to do about this since I have/had lyme...I really have to speak to them about this.

Jim and I are going to celebrate at the end of the month, my Birthday (tomorrow) 3 years Anniversary on the 15th and end of Radiation on the 14th....We are going to a B&B in Lake Geneva WI, can't wait. It will be nice to get our minds off CANCER...

I hope everyone is doing better each day, I know this journey is very hard, I wish each of you the best of luck.

Julie

Happy Birthday Julie! Great to hear your good news!
I wish I had solutions for everybody here who is suffering, but I am still hunting for them myself and seem to be more of a student on this board than a teacher. All I have to offer is my experience, support, and prayers based on what I have learned in my recovery. I am not a physician.
