My leukemia's back.

Gosh, you guys! Scar tissue and bad radiation days make me so grateful that my problems are as manageable as they are! Sending prayers!!

sounds like a plan.

makes the cool minimally invasive radiation treatment a little less impressive. Who knew R2D2 was going to stick marbles in your breast.

Nobody knew! Of the 600 patients my surgeon has sent down there, I'm the only one with this reaction. I asked my oncologist and my radiologist too, and they've never seen it before, either. I always have to do everything the hard way, I guess.

But I can't complain too much. Some pain, puckering and scarring is pretty minor compared to what others are going through. I really appreciate all the hugs, prayers and well wishes.

I know my mom used aloe vera jell with my dad when he was undergoing radiation and she thought that it helped.

Sure is difficult watching a loved one suffer.

It really is. I watched my mother go through it. Saw that awful burn. She made it though it.. Right through it all, including the cancer!

@MrsMistyReal I'm praying for you and DH!

Cynthia, YAY! Keep up the good work. Yes, it hurts, but that will eventually pass.

MrsMisty, Extra prayers for you, and Dh.

Friday, Prayers for your situation as well. Glad there is no infection, but scarring doesn't sound like a best case scenario either.

Not only is it cold here, but it's pouring rain out. Nasty! I've got to go out in a bit, and take care of my chickens. I'll be the walking bundle of clothes, encased in a heavy coat, carrying the bright purple umbrella.
