The Good: My evil god daughter is coming for the weekend, I’m looking forward to having some smiles rather than the doom and gloom of this past week, let the party begin!
The Bad: No sooner had I received the final ZAP of radiation that I was ushered into a room to discuss short and long term side effects and how I’ll need to be monitored going forward. So much for happy time, and I didn’t even get to ring the Fucking Bell!
The What the ???: We looked at each other without saying much, him concerned with how deflated I looked, me by the number of “Fuck’s” coming out of his mouth, that’s never a good sign when he’s swearing more than me... I’m glad it was him I was having this conversation with and not someone else.
Is it even possible to have every side effect on a never ending list and then some??? Apparently it is... the wonder drug Tamoxifen was not so wonderful for me; even though the long months of chemo are in the past, it will remain in my present for some time.
We shook hands and said good-bye; I wanted him to stay just a bit longer while I thought about what this meant... he was gone.
Lessons Learned: If you play with Radiation, you will get burned...
