Radiotherapy is going well. 17 down, 13 to go (the last five are boost rads directly to the tumour site). I am a little pink. Mild sunburn so far and some internal discomfort in my breast. Mainly across the top of my chest and scar.
I am feeling really good. Heaps of energy, enough to rearrange the girls rooms this week and cull lots of toys and send them off to the op shop. A big thanks to Robyn, Paula and Sue for their generosity in helping with my petrol to and from the hospital. Paula was very naughty and way to generous. It really means a lot.
I spent a lovely afternoon with some of my favourite girls today. Paula, Erica and Tracey thanks so much for a wonderful day. We had a lovely lunch at a favourite cafe and then ended the day with a walk to the scrapbook shop. I think we were all very happy with our purchases.
At this stage it doesn't look like I am going to qualify for a rebate on my petrol for my trips back and forth from hospital. I am 2kms short according to there estimates to get 14cents/km back. I am travelling 570kms per week. Makes me so cross. It's not like we are rolling in money and can afford to be out of pocket around $150 a week.
In other news I am heading back to work sometime next month. I am looking forward to earning some money again. It will really come in handy. Hopefully my body can cope with the hectic pace at work.
