Progressing

Jenn had her conversation with her surgeon this past Friday.  No further surgery needed at this time.  Great news!  She will need to heal until mid December and then they have recommended 6 weeks of radiation.  Jenn has chosen to go for her treatment at the Seacoast Cancer Center of Wentworth Douglass Hospital.  She will meet with her new radation oncologist sometime in the next two weeks.  She is feeling better since surgery and recovering well.  Her tender area is coming along. 

For me I am definitely coming along.  I have some weird stuff still, like my right hand has tremors when overtired or cold.  I told Bill to look for a nice internet job so he can work from Aruba, or the Turks and Caicos, Bali... Anywhere warm would suit me just fine.  A new twist is I get these odd, jump out of my skin itching in my hands and feet.  It has happened twice in the past month.  It seemed to be brought on perhaps by overdoing it each time.  Not sure but most unpleasant and it lingers for about an hour each time.  So I am still building stamina, but doing so much more.  My body obviously has it's way of telling me when enough is enough.  My team at Oncology told me I'd feel better at the six month mark post treatment.  It just happened that I needed lots more treatment than just they had in store.  My 6 month mark for all the post infection treatment will be this January.  That's why they make all the noise makers and hold celebrations! I'll think of New Year's as everyone celebrating and sending good vibes for a great new year of great health!

  1. Tracy I could not say it better we all need positive energy for a very happy and healthy 2013. I can not wait just had my first following up since my radiation treatment and receive two thumbs up from my doctor everything going well. Please let Jenn know if she has any concerns about the Seacoast Cancer Center let her know I received the most amazing care there and Dr Metcalf was awesome I hope that is who she has. Hugs to Jenn and you and together we will make 2013 an awesome year!
