5 More Radiation Treatments

I can't believe it, I have only 5 more treatments.  It has gone fast.  I have been tired and I am getting pretty red.  I have to put this thick cream on my sites three times a day.  The treatments take about 30 minutes a day.  I asked the physicist how the radiation worked today.  It was pretty interesting.  He even opened up the machine for me.  I have been so impressed by all the people at Valley View Medical Center.  They have taken such great care of me.  My next step....hormone therapy for five years.  I will have another surgery in the spring but I am putting that at the back of my mind for a while.

I was able to go to an Image Reborn retreat in Park City this weekend.  It was for Young Survivors, like me.  I made some pretty great friends.  They were from all over the country.  (Washington DC, Tennessee, Missouri, and Utah (Salt Lake, Orem and Cedar City).  I am so impressed by how all these wonderful ladies have dealt with their disease.  We also got so pampered!  Thank you Image Reborn.

Save a Sister

I am so slow on my posts this month.  I think it may have something to do with me doing radiation??  Ha Ha. 













I was able to participate in the Save a Sister race in St. George, Utah.  This was October 20.  My mom and I joined as survivors.  We even got a special pink shirt to wear.  I took Kaili, Jordan and Houston with me.  We just pushed the two man stroller the whole way, go TEAM.  I had a lot of fun being there with some many supporters.  I even put pink hair gel in my hair.  Kaili, Jordan and my mom joined in the hair fun too.

Well, I finally got the total donation amount for our Denim Day.  We raised $1438.00.  I am so grateful to everyone who supported this day.  It was such a fun day.  All of my co-workers dressed in pink and their denim.  I sold 70 pink shirts with our special design.  It meant so much to me.  We even had an anonymous donation of $100.00.  The superintendent brought the four of us a livestrong bracelet and came to see us.  Our school bought us pink flowers and my friend, Amy, brought me a pink ribbon ornament and bracelet.  I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day.  I will post some of the amazing pictures I got that day.
