Only 7 more treatments!

I'm nearing the end of my radiation and I'm entering the final countdown. Well, I have one full week and then 2 days of treatment, but I'm entering that final stretch, I can almost taste it! I just want to return to some normalcy, I guess that's all I can hope for. Some routine, oh, and a comfortable bed. lol I want to be able to return to my pre-treatment vegetarian diet, which at the mercy of hospital food has not happened, though I have been flopping between hospital food/gluten free while there,  but when in Rome....... I am happy to say, though, that during my last 4 or so weeks of treatments, my weight hasn't changed, not a bit, which is a good thing. I am actually considering a 75% vegetarian diet after treatment, with a 1 meat dish a week kind of deal. Some people do meatless Mondays, I'm thinking of doing a Meat Monday type of thing. I don't know yet. But if I do, I will be grabbing my meat from The Valli Girls, here in the city. If you are going to eat meat, you can't get your meat any more natural and the way it's meant to be than from here. It is certainly more expensive, but most things healthier are. But your health should definitely be worth it. I know that we want to start back at the gym, but I, of course, want to give my body the time it needs to rest and heal before I start back there again. I also want to wait until my MRI results come back in November before we start paying out membership fees, just in case we have to put it on hold again! But let's hope the treatment worked and that's not the case! Though we will certainly be out walking as much as possible, I certainly love the weather around this time of year! And hey, now is the time all the Halloween and Christmas stuff is out so I can shop, too. :) Only 7 more treatments left, and I'm already looking forward to what I'm going to be doing shortly afterwards. That's gotta be a good thing. Right?
