Long time, no see.

Wow guys, sorry I haven't updated in such a long time. Everything has been going pretty good. Finished radiation, which was a piece of cake compared to chemo. Going everyday at 8 in the morning was the hard part.

Everything is starting to hit me now. Whenever I was diagnosed, everything just kind of happened at once and I was too busy going through the treatments to actually put things into perspective. Now that I'm done, I want to be normal again instantly. Being an athlete and always being able to play tennis anytime I wanted to has made the healing process very hard. I still get out of breath easier, and I'm still very weak. Now that I'm done with all the physical treatments, the emotional part of this whole experience is starting to kick in. I just need to be patient and let recovery happen the way it's supposed to.

Whenever I was diagnosed, I had to go through a series of tests and scans to see how my body was before treatments started. Now, I have to do all of that again. Monday I go back up to Columbia for a full day of tests and scans. Heart tests, lung tests, meetings with my oncologists, and the worst of all.. the dreaded PET and CT scans. I don't know what it is about those scans, but I just really hate them. But, hey! Hopefully there won't be too many more of those.

Recovery is going to take a while, and it's very emotionally draining, but if I can make it through chemo and radiation, I know I can make it through the recovery process. Pray that everything goes well Monday and I'll get the results we're all hoping for!

Will update once the results are in. Thanks for all the support.

xoxo,

Tori
