Carolin's New Hobby

The lovely summer of 2004 came to an abrupt end when Carolin was diagnosed with cancer. What follows are the random thoughts and experiences of the Camerons as Carolin fights back.

Last day of radiation

This afternoon was my last radiation treatment. I completed all 25 without missing any because of skin problems. It feels good to be done but I will miss the care givers on Unit 8. They were wonderful people and treated the patients so well. I need to keep putting cream on for the next 10 days as the skin will continue to redden for that long. It is quite red now and a bit itchy.

I have lost another finger nail. That is number 3 now. They don't really hurt but they look quite odd. A few more to go I think.

Training walks are going well. Yesterday (Mother's Day) I walked 10 km with my friend Karen. I felt good and could have kept going. This morning my legs felt fine. I ran 20 minutes on the treadmill and then did my Body Pump class. Tomorrow we are scheduled to walk another 8 km. I am meeting lots of wonderful people that are also doing the walk.
