Hallelujah!
35 treatments have come and gone.
I’d like to say it was easy and went by fast. I mean, it kind of did go by fast. It seems like I just started. At the same time, throughout the last seven weeks, it got progressively harder.
A quick flashback.
It’s January 16, 2013, in Houston – two days after Jenny’s second surgery, when they removed 23 lymph nodes and ensured there was no cancer left in her body.
Labor Day came at the perfect time during my treatment. My poor skin needed the break. I did, too.
I’m pretty sure that my standard answer when people ask how I’m doing is, “Good. Grumpy, but good.”
And, I am. I’m just worn out.
Can you believe it? I’m halfway done.
The great news – no major skin problems so far. Maybe it is the buckets of lotions I’ve slathered on multiple times a day? I’m on a rotation of Burt’s Bees, H2O Plus Milk Moisturizer, Miaderm and Aquaphor. (Special thanks to Debbie and my mom for being my suppliers for these!)
Week one of radiation has come to a close. Only six more to go.
You know what that means? Only four more weeks until OU’s first football game.

On July 3 — at Jenny’s last chemo treatment — Dr. Razaq came to see her while she was hooked up on the infusion clinic. Jenny’s only question that day was about the port.
