I think the FAT Lady might be singing :)



Goodbye, Farewell, Adios, Auf Wiedersehen, and Ciao Baby ;)

I don't know why but having the port removed on Friday was more significant than I expected! It marked the END of treatments for me! I just got real satisfaction of watching the nurse throw it in the trash can. The procedure was pretty painless, especially when you are like me and you actually watch her cut and stitch! She said most people don't usually watch, but then again, I am NOT like most people.

The next step is Tamoxifen, not sure when this will happen. I will continue to see Dr. Carmen for the next 10 years for follow-up. Good thing I like her, huh?

The hair is growing, spring is coming and life will hopefully return to normal again.

Big Brother


My big brother Steven came to visit us this weekend! We had such a nice time and I was glad to be able to spend some time with him. We don't have many opportunities to have quality time together. For someone that does not have children, he did a fabulous job of hanging tough with our crazy family life.

The weather here the last few days has been absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait for Spring. Something about it puts me in a great mood. Things are going well and I am feeling OK! I can tell that my body is way different but I try not to let it bother me. I just keep trucking along ;)
I am having minor (and I mean minor) surgery on Friday to get the medi port out of my chest! This is quite significant in "cancer world" because it means that I am really done with treatment.
