week 2 # 8 coming up

Wow the time goes by fast when I think that I am going to blog everyday. Of course it does not work  out that way because I am busy doing other things and it seems like there is nothing new to say.
Every time I go in there is something new to report and I think that I will remember when I get home.  My memory seems to have taken a little hiatus lately.
Monday I met a lady in the dressing room that had her last radiation and she was such a sweet lady.  She was very tiny and she was using a cane to steady herself.  She told me that she had rectal cancer and that her tumor was on her tail bone. When they removed the tumor they had to take her tail bone and more.  I assumed it was more bone than just her tail bone because she pointed to where they had performed surgery.  She was to use her cane whenever she went out where there were going to be lots of people in case someone bumped in to her.  She was very soft spoken and had an accent so I really had to pay close attention. We exchanged names and told each other we would pray for one another.  My list keeps growing. Curious how everyone that I have talked to and has shared their story with me, no matter how terrible it sounds, say the same thing....but I am alive! Some say it through tears and some just sound relieved.  Depends on the day for me.  I am alive :) YEE HAW!


All of the staff at the cancer institute had on costumes for Halloween.  Sitting in the waiting room someone said it was cute as long as we did not see one dressed like the grim reaper!  HA!  

Dr. S said that he did not see any cancer in the x-rays and to keep doing what I was doing.  He and his people are just the 'clean up ' crew he said :)  PTL!
