Halfway done with radiation!

I completed treatment number thirteen today! Originally I thought I was going to do 30 treatments, but the doctor said that I am only doing 25. I am officially half way done! So very excited. This means that I should be done with my treatments the week before Christmas and what a Christmas present that will be!! The treatments are getting much easier. So far I am right on mark the first time they scan, so I do not have to go through two ct scans. That helps a lot. I even fell asleep a couple of times during treatment too.

My hair is growing back!! I have eyelashes and eyebrows. And I have this Ripley hairstyle going on... It is kinda cool though. I have always seen these ladies shave their head for a roll. Alien3, Empire Records... Always thought it would be neat to try but never had the guts to actually do it. Now I get to see my hair grow in and I will get to try all the crazy short hair styles that I never had the guts to do. I also have the courage to go outside without the scarf or wig. Well, I was out for Black Friday and was SO HOT! I could not stand the scarf so off it went. Then I realized people didn't stare at me as much as I thought they would. And the plus side was that most of the people got out of my way or tried to help me during the black friday sale - bonus! Even at my girl scout meeting, the girls did not even flinch. It is nice to know that I do not have to hide behind a scarf.
