I see the title got your attention.... 
Ok,, seriously.. onto the real reason for the blog...sorry to disappoint 
I received my CT simulation today and start my radiation treatments within the next week. For weeks I have sweated getting this simulation done...having read up on it I knew what it entailed.
After having 4 children, three surgeries, lumpectomy, chemotherapy.. one would think that radiation would not be so daunting. WRONG!! I haven't slept much all week.. worrying about being on this table, tattooed and run through this machine... the tattoos worried me the most because it involved needles  Now you understand why I never did get that cute little tattoo on my right ankle like I wanted.....not terrified of needles but neither do I like them.
The sim tech was so sweet...she explained everything before she started and told me she would count to three before each needle insertion. What a difference a good, compassionate technician can make 
The entire process from start to finish was 25 minutes... with me laying flat on my back.. brace for neck and under knees, both arms over my head and clasped behind my head and of course my boob hanging out for anyone to see(not like anyone was rushing to see ole Snappys old titty) Well on second thought.. the doctor did get to not only see it but make marks all over it with marker 
All that worrying for naught...the three tattoos took less then 5 mins and I have had shots in the arm that hurt worse then that!! Gessshhh I feel like such a big baby now  But the tech said a LOT of people are scared of getting the tatts and I did wonderful... (guess she didn't see me close my eyes when I went through the machine...it's just inches from your face and I get claustrophobia sometimes)
Anyway.. it's over....  well.. at least that part. Now all I have to do is show up for 33 rounds of radiation(every day 5 days a week) but that process takes 15 mins..tops!! I can do this!!! AND... it is the last step in my cancer treatment so I will be finished!!! (except for getting my chest port removed)
I will keep you updated on my rads report...in case you're interested....well.. even if you're not interested I will still post the progress...
Thanks to all that have read my blogs/posts, emailed me, prayed and supported me throughout my cancer/ recovery journey!! And thanks for the overwhelming love you have shown me and Ray....you all are really the bestest and I love you dearly!  
Onto the final chapter in this journey.. what a hell of a ride it has been in more ways then one

Glad it went better than you'd anticipated.
As always, I wish you well. I know the radiation won't be a total breeze, but I know it's bound to be easier than what you've been thru so far!
Here's too the best results with this final treatment!

All my prayers with you hun. you're gonna get sick, but then again you know that. Just keep moving forward. You know what I think? I think that when you go in to remission, you should go ahead and get that cute little tattoo on your ankle.

I'm glad you are doing better. At least you are making progress, I'm sure you will be thrilled once all of the treatments are over with, then you can breath a sigh of relief. You sound like a very strong person, I guess when things happen in our lives, we have to be strong, you never realize how strong until you are faced to deal with certain situations. (((Hugs)))

American medicine....geez! I'm glad you made it through the process
Well, I think we should just treat her like a potato
Ok...I'll poke holes in her...you nuke her!
Ok..let do it!
Do yourself a favor....eat all the asparagus you can shove down your throat...it does have properties that can reduce cancer cells...
Then when you are all done with your treatments
Show us your tits!
HAHAA
Good luck!
