Constant reminders….
The after effects of treatment just don’t stop. They are a constant reminder of where you’ve been; cancer road.
My friend Marne has been finished with her breast cancer surgery and treatment for over a year now but it just won’t let go of her. The post surgical woes were painful. She was sore and achy long after her doctors told her she’d be past the worst of it. But she squared her shoulders and walked-on. She promised herself she would put cancer in the past.
Treatment was awful. The radiation did what radiation does; she was tired and depressed and had headaches. She was over radiation long before radiation was over her.
Reconstruction brought more side effects. Her medical team continued to build-up her resolve but she got to the point where that wasn’t working either. But she remained focused and got through that part too.
The constant pain in her shoulder wasn’t cancer, but it was related to her cancer surgery; rotator cuff issues and more surgery.
Now she’s in rehab for the shoulder.
She sets an alarm so she doesn’t miss a self-imposed PT session at her desk at work. This on top of going to a physical therapist for range of motion work on that repaired shoulder.
She is determined to get to the day when there is nothing else going on with her body that will take her back to that cancer place.
Such strength, such determination…there’s only respect for that kind of resolve.

My dad would bring his pay home (in cash), and they would divvy it up into the appropriate envelopes:
house payment, groceries, gas and so forth. Before a surgery is planned, the individual will be required
to go through a comprehensive appointment using the
plastic surgeon. The fat cells in the target area are melted away without damaging the surrounding tissues.

Good for your friend – there are those days when it is so very tough to push through the challenges. Obviously she has what it takes to get past this, and I do believe she will. As one survivor to another, I say “Keep up the good work!!” I’m pulling for you.

It should be more than enough that she has had to suffer through cancer and it’s problems but to have something non-related is just not fair. She sounds like a very determined woman..she will give that cancer a good fight!
