At the moment when I had 4 days of radiation left I began to feel like I was going to make it through the situation. I was ready to begin healing. I was excited to be on the healing path.
They had begun doing the booster for my radiation treatment which meant they would only treat the area where the cancer was and not my entire left side. That meant that part of my body could begin to heal. I was beginning to get a rash all over the treated area. The cream I put on it was helping, but I was definitely ready to be done damaging it. It was wonderful to know that from this point on, I would be getting better. I was hoping that I would heal unnaturally quickly.
At this point in my journey, I felt emotionally stronger than I was last fall when the journey began. I felt like it took a lot more to stress me out. I was currently taking things with ease that would have previously ruffled my feathers. I hoped the change was permanent. I liked having smooth feathers.
It's unfortunate that it takes a good shaking of our lives for us to truly get our priorities straight. I wonder if anyone has figured out how to put life and all it's demands into perspective without a little shaking. Of course, in my situation I tend to like to control things and I am definitely not in control here.
