Nancy finished her radiation treatments yesterday. There were a total 15 treatments that she has been receiving daily with the exception of weekends. The treatments seem to working as she is much less pain that when she began treatments.
She still is not pain free and the radiologist told her to keep taking the pain medication for a while longer. It has been another daily grind for her to head to the hospital each day, but she has handled it with great strength once again. We are grateful to all who have provided rides and kept her company.
She will still receive hormone treatments and an IV medicine to strengthen the bone once per month. In addition she is still taking Arimidex another cancer medication designed to keep the cancer at bay.
Her spirits are good, especially considering all she has been through. We've been busy flower shopping and planting flowers in the back yard and getting it in shape. She also has been able to get out to dinner with friends. There have been a number of occasions where is very nauseous; likely caused by the radiation or the medications.
From this point we wait to make sure she has no pain develop anywhere else. The are no plans to do any more scans or tests if she remains pain free.
Thanks for all the support, prayers and cards.
Bob
