Yep folks I am in remission! I love it! No more cancer treatments for me! I get more and more energy back everyday and I am loving it! I get to start working out again next week after a heart stress test. I had some blood tests today that cam back very good!
My one month radiation follow up appointment was today and I get to stop being over gentle with my skin! Bring on the chlorine, perfumey soaps & lotions, shower brushes, and whatever else I want!
Reconstruction still needs to happen, the soonest I can have surgery is 6 months from my end date (august 27th) so I am guessing February. I am going to start interviewing plastic surgeons on Monday and am so excited to see what type of reconstruction would be best for me. I have an appointment at Stanford as well. Currently I am leaning towards Stanford because reconstruction is the only thing this doctor does. The other Dr. does a little of everything. However the other doctor is closer and reconstruction usually includes numerous trips to the doctor, some appointments lasting less than 20 min. Driving all day to Stanford for a 20 min face to face with a doc sounds frustrating to say the least. So my official view on the location of the doctor is that my old breasts lasted 33 years, the next set will get about the same, hopefully more with a little maintenance. So a bunch of trips in the car, all day, is worth having the best set I can get.
Oh and watch for a magazine called Tulare County Magazine coming out mid October published by Visalia Times Delta. They sent a photographer and a writer to talk about Beauty and Cancer. Wigs, prosthetics, etc.... should be fun and I should be in it.
