Happy Dance reclaimed my smile

happy dance yes we can do it.  Tomorrow is my last day of radio.  It will be 10 months of intense treatment.  Lumpectomy then mastectomy immediate expander, lympth removal positive lympth nodes, 5.5 months chemo , 6 months physio to move that arm 25 chest wall radios - big burns, expander injections 10 months since I've been to work, my life really changed.  Mental nights on steroids, new fear of needles but here to say we are a strong breed ... Still got tests reco etc but here's a photo after radio today I found my smile!!
