The skin infection looks like it is under control - they told me to watch my temperature and treat any fever as an emergency, but basically concluded that a week covered in the anti-bacterial swab would sort it all out!
Tuesdays are my updates with Dr Lee at the Rohnert Park Cancer Center - he was pretty happy with everything and said "You're on the homeward path now", which is encouraging. Just 7 more radiation treatments to go.
To be honest, having the appointment every day has been very grounding - giving me a daily schedule and a focus of attention - I'm a bit worried about how I'm going to deal with not having it there any more. I'll still have appointments and check-ups, plus the support group, but there will not be that daily commitment that demonstrates to myself that I am "Doing Something".
I guess I just have to keep going: recover from this treatment and get through to the operation, then get through the operation and get through the recovery period, then face the next set of Chemo drugs and get through that. I've said from the start that I'm putting myself firmly in the hands of the doctors and having faith that their advice will get me through - that's how it's going to have to be!
