The beginning of the end

This week Carolyn began her next (and hopefully last) phase of cancer treatments. She is supposed to have daily radiation therapy for the next three weeks. The first two sessions have been a snap. She's been in and out within 10 minutes. She is schedule for the treatments at 3:35 each day so she'll probably just call it a day when she leaves work and heads up to Roseville for her treatment.

After this series of treatments she'll go in for a thorough physical 4 times a year for the first year; then 3 times a year for a year; then 2 times; then once. At that point they'll consider her cured. I real ly think she's cured right now but it's better to be safe than sorry.

We'll keep you posted on her reaction to the radiation.

  1. Didn't know Carolyn would also have radiation. My sister had radiation last year for breast cancer and it made her very tired, but I hear Chemo is much worse. Good luck with it all!

  2. I'm very glad to hear mom is back at work. I'm sure she is happier that way.
