Over the hump

I'm suddenly 15 treatments in... 10 remaining. Time seems to be flying because I am LOVING LIFE back in the city. I start every morning at Pure Barre and I believe it has physically AND emotionally helped me get through this. I am so into it that I seriously wish I had a spare 100g's to open my own franchise. I honestly haven't been so passionate about something in... I can't even recall. My goal has been to hit the barre every single day of treatment... a fun personal challenge. I have also taken on the studio challenge of 20 consecutive days in a row... only 4 more to go! Anyway... what is this post about again?

Radiation side effects are minimal... really just fatigue. At this point, I have not had any more nausea or any of the local side effects (redness, burning/stinging, or soreness) that I was warned about. I'm definitely not out of the woods yet... most side effects appear toward the end of treatment.

I have been exhausted on and off... some days I feel ready for bed at 6pm... other days I feel fine. I somehow caught a gnarly cold and have been battling that on top of everything... it's been lingering for almost a week now.

Next week I will meet with my surgeon to plan the next steps. I know I am looking at an overnight surgery sometime in April, but it will be nice to have everything scheduled... with a real end in sight!

  1. I'm so glad you're finding time for yourself! That must be why you look absolutely radiant in all of your pics. All my love.
