Radiation - days 17&18


Even days are Bolus Days- when they put that wet thing on top of your radiation area. Today was number 18 of 28. A Bolus day.

Some new developments since the weekend... After I informed my boss that I would need more time since I am still in treatment and recovering from a nasty arm - as well as expressing concern over workplace chemicals, I was informed by the company that my position is no longer being held for me. And my insurance gets canceled along with my employment termination as of Januray 31, 2013.

So I was fired for needing more time off, and it's really convenient it happens as OSHA starts their inspection.
What is the matter,boss? Worried they might find something?

A prompt call to the lawyer waiting for the OSHA report - he calls me back and instantly puts me on trial. I am not one who takes well to being yelled at - but I liked the guy's attitude. Someone who bites someone's head off is what I need because I just can't do this by myself.

I meet with him Thursday.

I'm not a fan of being told to sit down and shut up.

I just beat cancer, no lawyer is going to put fear into me....as will no boss.

I'm smart, and was that lady who read all the ingredients. Good thing I was paying attention. And I was the nerd mom for caring. Win for the nerds!

Body wise I am tired. Tired overall from radiation but now the burns start to settle in- I can feel them coming closer.
My skin is purply red and angry looking between the burn and the holes where the drains were.
Ugh.
My determination in this pending matter will not fade.
It is a travesty that women have to work in these conditions, being bullied by bosses, and corporations when they get sick.

So you fire the woman in treatment for cancer, during disability. Canceling insurance.
Real cool.

I see how it is.
Let's ROCK.
