ZERO TREATMENTS TO GO



I had my last radiation treatment today (2/24).
Twenty-one treatments finished.
ZERO treatments to go.  

Thank you Mary and Vickie for the beautiful flowers.


The family helped me celebrate over dinner
and then we lit sparklers in the street.  


Jami and Geoff


I'm happy to be done with radiation



TODAY IN FLORIDA...
Joy, Marilyn and Steve helped me celebrate by eating one of my favorites - Krispy Kreme donuts. 
It was so thoughtful of them to celebrate with me by eating my share of the donuts.   



This journey is about over.  
  • I have a few follow-up appointments over the next several weeks, but I'm so thankful the DAILY treatments are finished. 
  • I've been blessed to have had only a few minor side effects.
  • Kudo's to the radiation staff at the Cancer-Treatment Center here in Fairbanks. They always treated me with upmost respect, kindness and care.
  • So many of you have been such a great support to me during this time. I will never forget it and I thank God for you.  
  • 85 days since my doctor said, "You have breast cancer." 85 days and now cancer-free!

SIX MORE TREATMENTS TO GO...


As of today, I've finished 1️⃣5️⃣ radiation treatments.....6️⃣ more to go.

During the last ten treatments....
  • I had a sinus infection and was on antibiotics for ten days. That was definitely worse than any of my radiation treatments.
  • I spent my birthday in bed sick. Number seventy-four did not get off to a very good start, but it's improving rapidly. 
  • Maddy spent the week with us while her mom and dad were in Phoenix (business trip for Nicole).  It was a fun week with our youngest granddaughter.  
  • I enjoyed a belated birthday celebration at Pagoda (in North Pole) with all the family. Pagoda did not disappoint...it's one of my favorite places to eat, especially when surrounded by family.
  • Flower delivery. These flowers are so cheery in our sub-zero weather, and a reminder from Nancy that I'm not alone.  ❤️

  • Happy Valentine's Day!  Dave and I enjoyed  Cold Stone ice cream this afternoon at -15 degrees. Sweet cream is my favorite flavor.  We'll have dinner and a movie at home tonight since it's suppose to be -25 to -30 degrees. Don't worry, we have a good supply of chocolates on hand.  
  • Even with being sick I didn't miss any of my radiation treatments so I'm still on schedule to finish February 24th. 
  • I continue to THANK YOU for your thoughts, prayers and expressions of love.  
  •  IT'S ALMOST TIME TO PARTY AND CELEBRATE!  


Thanks, Teresa!  ðŸ˜‚
