I’m Done With Treatment!
So excited to share this news with you all, I’M DONE! WOOP!
I can’t wait to start feeling more like myself again. I know it’ll take some time but I’m already starting to feel much better than I was. I actually got back into the gym yesterday after almost a year and a half out—I am so excited to be able to work out again. Not that I wasn’t, I was going for walks and doing yoga but to be able to have enough energy to lift weights or use an elliptical was awesome! I definitely don’t have a ton of energy right now but I could do a quick little work out which made me feel really good and hopeful.
Right now, I’m pretty focused on detoxing my body but, not going overboard about it. I definitely had a few glasses of wine to celebrate being done with treatment and I will continue to do so, because YOLO. Aside from that, I’m still primarily cooking at home with organic healthy foods, taking my vitamins, and drinking tons of fluids and electrolytes to try to flush that s*** out. Elliot’s parents also got me a spa day at a very wonderful and relaxing spa which I will use soon! I’m very excited.
Next step is to try to get off my seizure medication Keppra. I have an appointment in June with my neurologist to wean myself off of it. To be honest, I’m a little nervous. I heard there can be random seizures—even years out—out of no where after someone has radiation due to scar tissue on the brain. But, I’ll talk to my neurologist and choose the best plan for me going forward. I would love to not have to take any medications so I’m sure we’ll figure it out.
I also graduated in May so that is another HUGE milestone done! Woohoo!
Wish me luck! Ill keep you all updated!
