The Daily Hailey

As you likely know, Brady finished his radiation treatment program yesterday!

Five weeks. Twenty five fractions of treatment. Twenty five trips into the city, to the cancer centre.

So many days at the hospital. Man. What a year already, and its only May.

His last week at the cancer centre was honestly really challenging. It seemed, as treatment went on, he felt worse and worse :/ He managed to keep his headaches as bay with regular workouts and limiting our activities like craaazy. I would say the hardest part about this week has been knowing its coming to the end of radiation, but feeling limited and unable and overwhelmed with all we have to do, or want to do, in the coming month or so.

We’ve learned we have to be pretty careful what we say on the internet about what we need, or what we’d like to do, because many of you are almost TOO generous! But if I can be honest, sometimes the list feels so long, and we have to make choices that are hard.

The bottom line – Brady being done radiation does not mean either of us is back to “normal.” Brady can still feel the symptoms of radiation for another two weeks. My anxiety certainly is going nowhere fast. And there is still so much to do 😅 It is next to impossible to not look at those things and to focus on the now.

But, lets.

We are SO happy to see radiation in our rear view mirror. There is more fuss and struggle ahead, but we are SO grateful to have completed this part of the experience. Nothing is easy, but that doesn’t matter. Onto the next!
