I am done with radiation! Yesterday was my last day and it felt so good to be done. No more crazy mask. No more burn on my head. No more sore ears. We won’t know for two months whether the radiation reduced the tumors or not. Even though I’m done, it continues to work. That makes me feel good, but the bummer is the side effects are still in place for that time. So I’ll deal with the fatigue, but I’ve done that before.
I’ve noticed my memory isn’t what it used to be. I tend to get confused with days and dates, but hopefully that will improve.
I have an appointment with Mayo Clinic on September 8. Thank you to Randy and Gail Pugh for offering to fly us there and back. I’ve spoken with Gail on the phone and through email and they are like angels sent from above. I look forward to meeting them.
I also have an appointment with Duke University on September 13.
Once I’ve met with both places and have their suggestions I plan on meeting with Dr. VanderWoude (oncologist) to help decide what I should do.
The kids are doing great. Poor Max is so confused by my head. Whenever he sees me without something on my head, he says “mama” “hair” in a questioning voice and has to touch my head. Then he’ll walk to a picture of Dusty and I, where I have hair, and say “mama” in a more definitive tone. My hair should start regrowth in about two weeks. I figure in about four to six months my hair will be the way it was before it fell out…again.
Speaking of hair, Samantha’s hair is getting so thick and it’s growing! For some reason our girls don’t like to grow hair until about they’re about two.
Brooklyn is doing great and continues to have an amazing social calendar. She is having a blast.
Lindy,
I am so thankful you are done with radiation. I will continue to pray that God will remove all 6 tumors. Hang in there. Love ya.
So glad to hear you are done with the radiation Lindy. Will be praying that the side effects are diminished soon. My boys were bald as bowling balls until they were two also. Now they have thick heads of hair! So, I’m sure Sam will as well.
What, no “end of radiation” cake? You deserve one. I’m so glad you’re done with treatments. Rest, rest, rest…you’ve got a busy month coming up.
That’s great that you’re done with the radiation! We’ll continue to pray that those tumors are shrinking and that they will be completely gone when they check in 2 months! Praying that you can feel strong and healthy, too! Lots of love! Amy & Brent
Well, that’s behind you now. God will continue to use man’s medicine to shrink those tumors down to nothing. As I prayed at your prayer service…I want the doctor’s to be “baffled” by your response to radiation. Then we will have another prayer service…one of thanksgiving to God!!
Hope to see you on Saturday when I pick up Brooke for some auntie/niece time!!! 🙂
Congratulations on being done with radiation!! You did it!! 🙂
Congratulations on being done! Will continue praying for those tumors to shrink, shrink, shrink and disappear.
No Mo Radiation! I am so proud of you! I always knew how strong you were…now the whole world knows.
yay for being all done with radiation!!!! praying that God’s hand (alone and working through the radiation) will remove those tumors. praying with confidence that He is definitely able to and pleading with my heart that He will.
Praying you experience the presence of Jesus. I see Him in your strength, the love of your parents, your Dr, your children and…in you. Gods hands are embracing you…rest in them.:)
In His Grip, barb
Yay! So glad you are done….hoping that the fatique will leave sooner than expected.
Praying that all those ‘fingers’ on the tumors shrink away and leave…
Have you ever seen the commercial for the bug spray ‘Raid’ where the bugs are all crawling around and then the Raid can comes out and they all yell ‘RAID’ and go running around trying not to get sprayed but when they do they die. I’m praying that for those tumors….that they yelled ‘RADIATION’!!!! and got zapped by it and are dead! I know, goofy way to look at it but I like visuals!
Praying, praying!
Lindy, I admire your strength and love you all.
