Exhausted

I can't believe it was a week ago that I was admitted into the hospital. As I mentioned I feel like I came home worse than when I went in. It has been very frustrating.

I can't remember feeling so exhausted. I can't figure out if it's the Pneumonia or the radiation. Maybe it's both. I'm looking forward to coming out of this fog. I woke up this morning wondering if I'll ever feel better again (I know I'm being over dramatic).

I was given a few days break from radiation. I completed my last "full" radiation treatment yesterday. I have 5 more to complete that will only treat the scar. My skin was doing so good but finally started to break down. I have a couple of areas that are really irritated. My Radiation Oncologist gave me a prescription yesterday for a cream that is used for burn victims. He said it will get worse before it gets better. I think that has been the story of this journey.
