Halle-freakin-lujah!!!!

I had an actual treatment today. WOOHOO!!!!

OK, so for all the bitching and moaning I did about the treatment time, I think this 9:30 time slot is going to work out for me after-all. I am able to get the kids on the bus, take the dogs for a 2-mile walk around the neighborhood, then make the 3-mile round trip walk to and from the hospital for my treatment. 5 miles before 10:30 in the morning, and well over my 10,000 step goal for each day. Bonus!!!

The treatment itself was fast and easy. I was back in my clothes and walking out the door already at 9:44 a.m. They give me two, short 20-second bursts of radiation. It takes longer for them to align me on the table than to do the actual treatment itself.

I'm just happy I have finally started. I feel like there's light at the end of the tunnel now. It will all be behind my by the end of the year. Boy am I going to cut loose at Jessi's wedding! Ha!
