I am headed to Arizona to visit with my cuz Melba. You might remember that she came and spent a couple of weeks with me during my chemo.
Ken is speaking at a Writer's Conference in Phoenix and she lives in Scottsdale so I decided to fly out for a week on an Allegiant ticket and visit her. Ken will spend an extra couple of days over the weekend so it will be a little bit like a vacation during that time.
My cousins, Dick, her husband is special too, are the ones that sent Nurse Gurdy so she will be going home during this trip and then be put to work on the home front since my cousin fractured a vertebrae over the summer and is having problems with that. Nurse Gurdy to the rescue once again. She does a great job!
It's still hot in Arizona so we won't be doing a lot but it will be nice to visit and get away from the house for a few days.
I hate to admit but I have been in a bit of a slump. I guess getting over the treatments and back in the swing of things, well really not swinging much yet, but ready to swing and not feeling up to it. Some of the symptoms are hanging on and my hair is not growing fast enough! Do I sound ungrateful? I am working through it but this week should help. I am looking forward to getting out of the house and having a little push from my cousin. Look out Scottsdale!!

Treatments Are Over
Last Radiation Treatment
Headed to my last radiation treatment. Ken's going with me so you know there will be photos!! Last night we got carried away with his new Photo Booth with me hairless. Needless to say, you won't be seeing those!! Unless we get into another laughing spell like last night after that session!

One More Radiation Treatment
Tomorrow, Thursday, is the big day. The last radiation treatment! Yes! I think I'll sleep in on Friday just cause I can! No more daily trips to the treatment machine. I'm almost done, I'm almost done!

Last Week of Radiation Treatments
Only two treatments to go. Yippee! Can't wait to be on the other side of all of this. A treatment tomorrow and meet with the doctor, then another treatment on Thursday, then I am done for six weeks with the radiation side of things. The six week appointment will just be a recheck. Then I won't have to see them for another six months. Sounds good doesn't it?!
Not sure of my next steps as far as the chemo doctor and rechecks on that side. Should know something soon.
I think I'll ring the bell on Thursday as I walk out of there, finished with another round of treatments.
God is good and He is faithful.
