Yesterday I went for a check up to the surgeon's office. It's always hard to go back to the place where you were diagnosed. Thankfully he and his secretary (wife) are amazing and that makes it easier. He checked me over and did breast and lymph node exam - while I held my breath hoping he wouldn't find anything - and then told me that everything looked and felt great. He was happy with how I was healing and had no concerns. I hadn't seen him since I started my chemo so we talked a bit about that and he was THRILLED to learn I didn't need radiation. He said that's better for me, means the cancer was caught early and it's the best option for reconstruction. We talked a bit about reconstruction and I told him that although I was not ready yet as I want to give my body time to rest and heal from chemo, I'd like the referral to be made so that I can at least ask questions and learn more about it. I'm not back to see the surgeon until June and he'll refer me to "plastics" and I'll get in there whenever. So all around it was a good check up and nice to get some good news. He seemed really happy and positive about things so that makes me happy!
Last night I went to my friend Kim's house and spent a few hours just hanging out with her. We hadn't seen each other for awhile because of the winter sickness hitting her house so it was good to hang out and catch up.
I'm feeling good and getting anxious to get chemo over with. The end seems so close now. Blood work and doctor on Thursday and then Round 6 of chemo this Friday. A MONTH TODAY I WILL BE DONE!!!! And that excites me more then anything could.
