Yahoo...radiation is over! Although I am glad that I no longer have to drive across town to Rancho Cordova (which is about 40 minutes away) everyday for treatment, a tiny bit of me is sad that it's over. I met some very sweet ladies in radiation who are obviously going through similar journeys of their own. I met one lady who has anal cancer and not only had to have radiation near her bottom, but also around her vaginal area as well. I felt so bad for her, she's such a sweetheart. Then there were a couple other women who were there with breast cancer who were having their breasts radiated. I also met some of the technicians there that I will miss, they were extremely pleasant and made it a more comfortable atmosphere. Forgive me if I've shared this before, but I leave there with thoughts of my mother-in-law (believe it or not) because she gave me a bracelet that sums it all up, which reads:
Cancer is so limited...it cannot cripple love...it cannot shatter hope...it cannot corrode faith...it cannot destroy peace...it cannot kill friendship...it cannot suppress memories...it cannot silence courage...it cannot invade the soul...it cannot steal eternal life...it cannot conquer the spirit.
Yes, believe it or not, it's very tiny writing, but it's on my bracelet that I wear everyday :)
Peace to you all ♥ Love, Genie
