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!!!
