Update on Lumpy and treatment

hi all! I hope you are enjoying your weekend! I am relishing it. The house is empty, I have coffee and my kitty by my side and I'm not budging until I have to.

I am half way thru a radiation treatment on my inguinal node!! The node has shrunk to where I'm barely able to feel it now. I have no side effects other than constipation but I do know to manage that since during chemo it was a struggle. Doc says redness and skin peeling may start soon but I am slathering the area with a good lotion, so hope that's minor.

I'm not sure if I'm fatigued. Hard to tell because my nap schedule hasn't changed much. I am still assisting in the Virtual Teaching of my grandsons. Basically that means just making sure they submit their work, feed them (constantly) and run them outside during breaks. We've had our hiccups but this is getting easier. I am so proud of them that they don't goof off during my daily trips to get treatment. The 14 year old is like a Sergeant with his little brother so I feel they are doing what they need to do.. No clue yet when they can go back to school. They really want to but extra caution is important right now.

Have a great weekend!!! Fall is finally here! Hugs Jill

Glad to hear the positive news, Jill. I too continue to wage war against Constipation. I win most battles. My landlord does not allow pets, but I would love to have a little purr buddy by my side. Glad you have one. Hope you and the grands enjoy the weekend.

Half way through already, amazing. Sounds as if the treatment is working very well.

Your grandsons are very lucky to have you helping them and I'm sure you enjoy it also, but a weekend on your own with a cat sounds blissful. Enjoy!
