Radiation is over...but the burn remains. The radiation treatments ended last Thursday. I am so glad that I don't have to interrupt my day to run to Sanford! The treatment area is still very sore, like a bad burn that is healing. Feels like I spent too much time on the sun deck!
Now for the next adventure on this cancer cruise...drugs! I have decided against taking Tamoxifen. I researched alternatives and found that one natural alternative to Tamoxifen is I3C (Indole 3 Carbinol, which is made from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and kale.) I found positive information about it online, at Sloan Kettering and Life Extensions . I will take 400 mg of I3C and hope that my oncologist doesn't fire me and that my breast surgeon does faint! Neither Tamoxifen or I3C is a guarantee against reoccurence, which is scary, but there is no guarantees in anything in life.
In other news, I have been very busy with clients, the weather is getting warmer, and I can't wait to jump in the pool!
Love to all!!!
