The Decision - Pt 3

Gee there are a lot of decisions to make through this process.

I've been putting off the decision about whether I should have radiation therapy, even though my doctor has been highly recommending it.  So I gathered information from several sources, and I finally decided to go ahead and do it.  It will start within the next 2 weeks.  The bottom line -- I'm at high risk, and I don't want to go through chemo again!  At least this process will be easier than the chemo.

There's a risk that the radiation could damage the tissue expanders I have in my breasts (part of the reconstructive process), but my plastic surgeon recommends that I don't put off medical treatment.   [Gotta respect a plastic surgeon who puts medical care first.]

Wonder if I'll glow in the dark?!!!

[PS.  Radiation therapy starts on Monday, April 11 -- every day for 8-9 weeks.]
