To Radiate Or Not To Radiate?
I’m talking about radiation, not radiating glowing skin and a happy attitude. Of course, I plan on continuing those two things. Just not sure I feel like going to the hospital every day to have my skin sunburned and a chance of getting some other sort of cancer while the nurses stay safely behind the wall.
I think the word is really “irradiate” but it doesn’t have quite the same ring. Either way, I’m sick of having to make all of these decisions (chemo? lumpectomy? mastectomy? sugar? vegetarian? macrobiotic? reconstruction? gray hair?). I liked it better living in La-La Land.

AHHHHH decisions, yes irradiate is the word, but sunburn is the reality. Cancer changes ones life….decisions now are part of the new reality… not just the mundane ones but the nitty gritty ones that can be life altering. However, rest assured that no matter the decision, God is not stuck. Therefore if you make a decision most think is wrong, God can still use that. He won’t wring His hands in agony and figure you have now messed it up for sure. Great comfort that. Would I have done the radiation? Not sure looking back. But of course hindsight is 20/20.
Mom, you’ve been in LaLaLa Land a long time :)
