I met with my new rad onc today - at a hospital much closer to my house. She will follow the updated protocols - ie 15 days of radiation (as opposed to the more traditional 25 days).
Now just to make it through the next couple of weeks till my Oncotype comes back.
I'm aware of the chemo regime and have a few things in place ready to go IF that's the way my treatment journey will continue, but I'm hoping and keeping everything crossed that the next bit will be 3 weeks of radio. Day at a time - still - and sending messages to all the gods / deities / guardian angels that I can think of.
I realise that this bit is very much out of my control (as if the other bits were?) but just need to focus on something so I don't drive myself up the wall.
It's been 3 weeks today since my surgery, and given the wound has healed pretty well, will hopefully go for a swim this weekend. Looking forward to the small victories.
