Radiation

Its been a long time since I wrote here . I think between the physical pain and bouts of depression I just wasn't up for writing . I have finished chemo and have had 10 rounds of radiation . I feel some of my strength has come back . Radiation treatments are a daily trip to the cancer centre . The whole process only takes about 20 mins. I am utilising the volunteer cancer drivers ,its a great program and have met some very good people , I am very grateful to be able to benefit from the program .
Things are going well so far I am over half way done and fatigue has not gotten any worse. I am feeling some aches around affected areas. They give you a cream to put on and I am using it quite liberally.
My hair is starting to grow but its like a new baby's hair . I am sooo longing to have my hair back .
I have been overweight for the past 20 years and put more weight on during this whole treatment between chemo meds, steroids ,and depression I have been watching the scale go up . During chemo I didn't want to deal with it but now I am in a place where I feel I am ready to get my body in shape. I started the Adkins diet (low carb /high protein ) I feel it is a good fit for me and the added protein should help with all the tissue damage. I am also going to be starting a program designed for people going through the cancer  process. It will consist of a personal trainer to help with targeted physical therapy. Going through all the treatments for cancer to survive and live longer it just makes sense to me to start treating my body better .Its been a week of very little carbs but |I feel good and not having any major cravings for bread, pasta ,sugar etc.. and for once the scale has gone down ...7 lbs whoo hoo  it feels good .
