Closing the door

A week ago I completed and shut the door on all my 25 radiation treatments. I felt so many emotions when I eagerly rang that gong. The most obvious is relief to have this part of my journey come to an end.
Then on Friday, I felt anxious and a bit uneasy about what’s to come next. My head started to get filled with questions like what is my body doing? How is it healing? Will I get my mobility back? Why am I so tired all the time? When will that go away?
Then over the next several days, some areas of my skin started to peel. Other parts started to form a couple of blisters. Thank goodness for self isolation and quarantine, I’ve been laying around in our bedroom with no top on to let the “girls” air out and keep it moisture free. Also convenient to be in the bedroom to rest my fatigue that I’m still experiencing.
I pray for everyone’s health and safety through these C19 days.
I suppose the theory is that it gets worse before it gets better.. just think how much your body has endured with 25 treatments of toxicity. It heals one thing but destroys another.. but at least the healing can begin. Hang tough and air those girls out if that’s what it takes. This time next year.. it will be all behind you. 🥰
I thank God for Avegail is going and getting her way to recovery from her radiation treatments and her on going chemo treatments. Hang in there Anak... I love you and God loves you and all your family and friends loves you! Congratulations on your finished radiation treatments! Mom
