I am so excited! Monday was my last radiation! What does that mean? I get a week off! I don’t have to do anything for a week except have some blood drawn and an EKG. That won’t take long at all

The crappy part is that on Monday, the 23rd, I have to go to the hospital, get an IV, and have an implant. What that means is the doctors will knock me out, open my cervix and stitch a empty sleeve in place there. Sounds like fun doesn’t it!?!?

Then I will have to go for four more radiation treatments but this time I go the doctor will open me up, as in a pelvic exam, and place some HIGHLY radiated disks inside the sleeve and leave them there for 10-15 minutes. Then he will remove the disks and send me home until the next time.

What is really going to suck are the three things I will have to do before each treatment..

1. Have only clear liquids the day before an nothing to eat or drink after midnight.
2. Fleet enema(s) until clear (usually 2).
3. Betadine douche x1.

Not only that but when I go for my “surgery” Money they will give me an enema… THERE! While I’m AWAKE! I have never had an enema nor do I want one. Believe me when I say that they will have to catch me before they stick anything up my arse!

Oh well! I guess I will just have to be a good girl and let them do what they need to do. Then, after this I will go through some testing to make sure all of the treatments worked. So keep your fingers crossed an keep praying for me please I would love to be healthy again. Not only for me, but for my husband and our families. Well, here is a list of my treatments, just in case you wanted to know
