A lot of you have asked me for a report on " me " ... (blushing) so here it is

I am doing great, except for the good sized treatment area which is burned

on my left side. The radiation has made my surgery scars hard and very

painful. (auxiliary scar in my armpit and tumor removal scar on the left of

my breast itself.) The radiation concentrates itself mostly in the folds of

the skin and the auxiliary scar is deep and has made it's own fold so it has

taken the brunt of the radiation. I also have a good sized area under my

breast that is pretty burnt and peeling and very tender. I only have 7 more

treatments to go.... Hallelujah!

The radiation has not left me as tired as the chemotherapy, thank goodness,

but I am still not 100%. It has been a long uphill road but I am nearing

the end of this battle and within the year will hopefully be back to where I

was before November of last year when this all began.

I have a light covering of hair on my head now and it is growing by leaps

and bounds. I can't keep my hands off my head as I love feeling the " fuzz "

that is residing up there.

I am so lucky to have my Bill by my side. A very caring and helpful man

that has sweetly walked with me every step of the way. I also have had all

of you with me and I am so appreciative of that too. God bless you all!

When I finish my radiation on the 30th of June, Bill and I will be heading

out the following week to go on an RV adventure. We are heading to Maine

for an RV rally and then off to unknown parts of the good ole USA. We plan

to be gone at least 3 weeks and perhaps even longer. We will load ole

Smudge up and the three of us will just follow our noses after the rally.

Smooches to all of you. Thanks for your blessings and prayers.
