Finishing today!

Hi friends. Just wanted to post a quick update: I’m scheduled to have my last two radiation treatments today, then I’ll be done!

I asked if they could do two on Friday, instead of the last treatment on Monday, and they said YES, as long as the treatments are 4-6 hours apart. They’ll do #29 in the morning, #30 in the afternoon.

It will be rough on my body doing two in one day, but I’m really eager to get on the other side of this, and have my body’s cells heading toward healing. No more getting thwacked. All healing.

Please keep sending healing thoughts my way.


Yesterday C picked up treats from Cupcakin’ Bake Shop. I’ll bring them in this morning as a small token of appreciation for staff at the UCSF radiation clinic, who have been amazing.
