I have started treatment

[sarmsank]

Finally after many delays I have started my treatments!  There really isn't anything to be afraid when you are receiving your treatments.  You lay on a table and they have this machine that goes around in circles targeting the assigned area.  It's very sci-fish.  Before my treatment and after the surgery I developed a blood clot in my arm (no surprise to me I was waiting for one to appear), developed a big ITCHING infection in my breasts that took FOREVER to go away.  Got the good news that I wouldn't need chemo.  Had weekly visits with the plastic surgeon regarding said infection.  Her office is way over on the east side and takes a while to get to.  Nicest person you would ever meet and boy does Dr. Finkel have a firm handshake and she is tiny little thing!  No nonsense hand shake but very nice and professional.  This is my point of view when you get breast cancer you have gotta lose some modesty.  I decided that since a lot of people are going to be looking at my breast that I might as well not be embarrassed by it.  So I lost my modesty about my breast.  I mean I can't hide them, doctors gotta look, the tech people, the assistants to the doctor's .... so many different people gotta look so lose the modesty.  Now that doesn't mean I am that way in public.  Now I have developed a rash of some type on the left breast.  The right breast is sore and the nipple very tender so I guess the left got jealous and decided to develop something.  They swear that it isn't from the treatment.  That it only targets the assigned area but isn't there a possibility that the body itself will react in different ways?  I think that my body will do that.  I am tired and I am just beginning my treatment.  I am only eight session in.  Work has been great.  I go to receive my treatment in the early morning and than go to work.  I receive STD in the morning until I clock in.  That worry has been taken care of.

I hope everyone is well and happy.  I'll get you posted on my adventures with cancer!!!  Have a great day.
