Finally, some relief.

I started Physical Therapy today on my neck and shoulders. AAAH, that was totally what I needed. I will start more massage therapy starting Monday - twice a week - for about a month. This has totally made me feel much better.

I have finished 1 1/2 cycles of chemo - going great so far. And I have finished 10 Radiation Treatments - have 19 total. One of my closest friends in Radiation, Frank, finished today. Congrats Frank! Now I will have to find someone else to listen to me run my mouth while we are waiting to get fried. Had some small issues with radiation. Some of my skin is burnt and my throat feels like its raw. But I get liquid hydrocodone and get to eat all the ice cream I want - and its not that fat free ice cream. Got to keep my weight up so I am loving the fattening food. After years of working out, it feels good to eat some crap.

I have some tests to do this Friday at Rex. Two MRIs on my lower back. I have had some pain since we started radiation. The PET and Bone scans did not show anything at this level back in Feb. But I want to make sure before I finish radiation. My thought is if they find some small bone mets, they could just flip me over and "nuke" that part too while I'm there :-). Although, I'm pretty sure its more technical than that. Hopefully, the pains are just nerves being hurt through out this process. Either way, we can handle it. With breast cancer that mets to bones, anything that pops up and hurts, just smack it back down till it doesn't hurt anymore - that's my thought on it.

Easter was great. Went to New Bern and hung out with the family. Got to go sailing one day. I also got to see Leigh Anne, Troy, Georgeanna, Susan & Johnny. That was fun and totally unplanned. Love those people.

I have had more good days lately than bad. Only one day in the past week did I lay in bed and sleep. Probably from all the prayers that I have been getting from everyone. Thank you. They sure are helping me get through this painful process one day at a time.
