WoHoo... I am CANCER FREE!

Sorry for my lame post yesterday, I had a CRAZY day and wasn't in a place where I could properly update. Life does not slow down for people - even people who used to have cancer.

I had to take C to the doctor yesterday because he was coughing, wheezing, snotty and screaming. He literally screamed for two hours in the middle of the day yesterday, refusing to take his nap. He gets mad sometimes, but never have I seen him this worked up. This, combined with the stress of waiting for the results of the re-excision lumpectomy, made me a total stress case. Anyway, long story short, we ended up in Urgent Care with him hooked up to a nebulizer. He was diagnosed with Acute Bronchospasm, my child has asthma. He's much better today than he has been in a long time. Breaks my heart to see my love muffin so sick.

But guess what? Five months, with six rounds of chemo and two surgeries, and I am CANCER FREE! WoHoo! I still have radiation ahead of me and five years (gulp!) of taking a hormone inhibitor, but the hardest part is over. What a journey this has been.

I can't help but to think about my next steps in life. Right now, I need to lose weight, make money and grow some hair. Wonder if there is somewhere I can combine those three? Boy, that would change the world, huh? Anyway, what's most important to me, really though, is STAYING cancer free. I really don't want to go through this again. I think there's going to be more green leafy foods in my future.


Thank you again everyone who has been so supportive to me and my family during these past five months. I feel sad for those women who are on this journey that do not have the kinds of friends and family that I do. I am truly one lucky girl.
