All the side effects of my chemo and radiation are in
full bloom and I had a pretty rough night. The skin on my chest is on fire and
feels like a bad sunburn. My esophagus is extremely inflamed, uncomfortable and
sore. I didn’t go walking today before my radiation appointment. I think the
smoke in the air is adding to the irritation to my esophagus, so I decided to
sleep in a little and take a day off. I spoke with the nurse at the cancer
clinic and she gave me some cortisone cream to put on my chest several times a
day to help with the discomfort. I told her I just need to know what
discomforts we can fix and what things I just need to learn to deal with for
now. A lot of the radiation discomforts I just need to tough through. Okay
Superman shirt, I think I need to wear you again today! Haha
This afternoon Lincoln and I were invited to stay at our
friends’ cabin with 3 other couples for the Stake Marriage Retreat at the Aspen
Lakes Stake Property. We carpooled up together and went out to dinner. It was
so much fun to hang out with other friends and have fun laughing. The fall
colors are in bloom and it was gorgeous!
