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.

Woohoo!!! You are so great and strong; and REAL about all of this... You've taught me a lot, without even knowing it.
Anyway, my friend Cheri's double mastectomy is today... hope her life "on the other side" of this is as uplifting a story as yours has been..
See ya MOnday, I hope!
