I am pleased to announce that my next eye exam will take place in 6 months. Six months? Well, that can’t be a major problem!
I have officially been diagnosed with a mild case of Radiation Retinopathy. Whole Brain Radiation is the cause. The upside is the ‘mild’ part. If/when a transition occurs to moderate or beyond, treatment exists.
I am not unique when I say, I hate that the treatment of cancer comes with many destructive side effects. Do I get a badge for living long enough to experience them? Cancer sucks.
I picture a Girl Scout sash with many badges for all of the rigors and indignities you have endured and “mastered”.
Sounds like a fun winter project! 🙂
you are a badass (yep i said it and mean it in the best sense of the word). I love you. you definitely merit a a bad for being so brave.
Being brave seems easier when you really have nothing to loose.
Nice to hear from you G!
badge!
I am telling your cancer to f off mixed with positive vibes. Kim you are so amazing and kind and selfless. I don’t care if that’s prop English or not. Love and miss you. I will say it 1 more time f*** cancer and the cell it rode in on. knowing you anything can happen and it’s always positive. I say so.
Thanks for making me giggle Matisse. xo
You know, you can be a pioneer in cancer treatment without QUITE so many side effects … sorry to hear the retinopathy, but glad it’s mild and some treatment is available later if needed. Hugs, sistah.
I’m quite surprised that none of my onc team had encountered that before. Hum.
breathing a sigh of relief for you xox
Thanks Melanie. I’ve really learned to appreciate having some distance between my ears and my shoulders. Hope you are smiling! xo
