Last day of radiation!

Today was the last day of radiation! Yipeee! I was diagnosed with breast cancer a little less than a year ago, so this time last year I was still innocent, feeling like cancer was a distant memory. I had been diagnosed once before, in 2002. I thought I had put all of it behind me, but I wound up with a new primary cancer in my other breast. It was more serious this time. I had to do 7 months of chemo, a bilateral masectomy, and radiation. My doctors will be following me closer this time. I am a carrier of the BRCA 1 cancer gene. This means I need my ovaries out, as I also have a very high risk of ovarian cancer. I will have a full hysterectomy about 6 months from now. For now, I need a break from surgeries, doctors, hospitals! I need to regain my strength and focus on something more fun!
