Beth met with her plastic surgeon yesterday - just to see how everything is now that radiation is completed... And it's A-OK, however she can't complete the reconstruction for at least 6 months after ending radiation - next May or June, but again it's great to start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!!
Beth's hair is growing back - yeah!!! Almost 2" long now, but of course we all know Beth, so no doubt she's not going anywhere without her best friend, her wig!!! and besides, with the winter cold coming on - the wig helps to keep her warm...
Boys are doing great - Devon loves school and is doing very well and Hayden is growing in leaps and bounds and is definitely becoming qite the little man and not a baby any longer.. Beth is hoping she'll have some new pictures for us soon, maybe on Thanksgiving...
Amazing - this time last year the lump had just been found and Beth was just about to begin this journey - so at Thanksgiving this year, be sure to be thankful for the many blessings we all enjoy - especially for all the lights at the end of the tunnels... And keep those prayers coming - they are for sure, what have helped make this journey a successful one!!!
FYI-Shhhh...You didn't hear it from me, but..... rumor has it Beth will be celebrating her 29th birthday next Sunday November 29th - no doubt she and we all have some wonderful reasons to celebrate..

Radiation Done Today - Yeah
Good news - Last Radiation Treatment Today - Yeah - Awesome !!!!
It certainly has been a long haul, but Beth feels as though she's finally able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.. Radiation treatments are really tough and once you're done, the area that has been radiated looks like it's been battered by by a baseball bat and right now she's not able to use that arm very much at all, needless to say it's very uncomfortable... And of course it's also starting to peel - but hopefully it will begin to improve in the next week or so; but in Beth's words "right now it's pretty gross"!! Always said with a smile...
So chemo continues every 3 weeks for many months to come yet; but at least the radiation is done!!!! As always, keep those prayers coming - your love and continued support are more important than you can imagine!!!
