It is Tuesday morning - lovely day outside - sun is shining at least, but not sure what the temperature is.

I am feeling so much better than I did - welcoming each improvement.  I am more my old self - much to George's delight!!!  (Delight might be a bit of a stretch - but you know what I mean)!!

Radiation is going ok so far - it only only lasts about 15-20 mins and that includes making sure I am set up in the same spot each time - it has been in the same room, with the same technicians - so it is becoming a routine.  4 down, 26 to go!!  They are usually quite prompt and so not much waiting around.  Appointments are all over the place though - today's is at 5:10!  I will probably be the last patient, so they had better not be too tired!!  lol.  I met a few people yesterday and it is interesting chatting with them and learning their stories - much similar to my own.  I know the radiated spot is going to get burned, but for now, no outward signs.  The lady I spoke with yesterday was saying that it heals and you get through it.  Not looking forward to it, plus the fatigue that everyone says happens - but I am talking weeks now and not months, all being well.  At the moment I can drive myself, so that is good - it is a fair walk for me from the parking garage and so I have to rest in between, but it is good for me to do the walking.

I mostly have my appetite back now and so can enjoy eating again.  There are still a few things I can't get excited about, but at least I am eating and drinking.  I am even enjoying a small glass of wine and I couldn't stand the smell just a couple of weeks ago.

Jason came to the house and worked on my arm yesterday - nice gentle massage to try and reduce the lymphatic fluid  -  he measured the arm before and after and the numbers did come down.   The arm is bothersome - I am best to keep busy then I don't dwell on it - but it is a bit painful at times - the fingertips are numb - not sure if that is from the swelling or the chemo - probably a bit of both.  (But as you can see I can still type!!!)

Hope you are all enjoying the fact that winter is over, I know it has been a little cooler, but the warm weather will come and we will be complaining about the heat before we know it!!  I can't wait!!

Talk to you soon.
Love Jeaninne
