Friday November 11th 2021 Today was my last day for radiotherapy and my last day of us driving to Issaquah Swedish, putting on this mask, and having my brain zapped with radio waves. So the next phase of this adventure begins. I get a month break where my plan is to to get my strength back on my left side so that I can hike, paddleboard and maybe even do some skiing!!
I am so excited to get working!
Once home, my schedule will be all about strengthening!!! I need to be ready for the next step in this adventure! Whatever that brings! 6-12 months of chemo for sure.
First up next week, I have a bunch of follow up appointments with my oncologist, my naturopathic oncologist and my physical therapy person at Swedish. Once those appointments are done Dave and I will head off for a 5 day trip to Oregon in the camper. I am very excited for that. I plan on soaking in as much ocean air as I can, going on long walks and eating good keto food. I have a sweater to finish knitting and lots of books to read so our evenings will be cozy and warm especially with my wonderful wooly socks.
I am so grateful for all the love and support I have received over this last 2.5 months since diagnosis on August 24th. You all are amazing. You lift me up🥰💖


You are truely an inspiration Dawn!
Keep up the positive attitude! I send more positive vibes, energy and lots of LOVE your way💜
