Radiation is now a closed chapter...

I met with my radiation oncologist this morning who examined me and explained that the discoloration on my skin will all disappear within another 6 weeks. She also told me that I don't need to have mammograms on my mastectomy side, and I have to have yearly diagnostic mammograms on my right breast, plus 2 manual exams by my doctor per year - plus my own self-breast exams. She also told me about a place that will remove my radiation tattooes for free. Then she shook my hand and said I was done with that part of treatment and she doesn't need to see me anymore. Cool!

Last night, Cam and I returned from Oroville where we spent the weekend with some friends that met down in Desert Hot Springs. We had a blast so did the dogs. They have a dog too and Cooper played with her non-stop and he was loving running around in the woods. They live on a mountain on a 40-acre ranch - it was gorgeous - nice view of Osoyoos Lake. Hope to get back there soon to visit again.

I'm a little bummed because the Meatloaf concert was cancelled and we were going. So now we have to hang onto our tickets to see when(if) they re-schedule the show.

I'm also bummed that there is a serious campfire ban on so I won't be able to enjoy my nightly campfire on my next trip to Tulameen.

I guess in the scheme of life, these things are small issues to be bummed about. ha ha
