Good News

Yesterday was my most recent doctor visit. Needless to say, I was quite apprehensive as this was when I was to find out if I needed chemo. The good news is my number is 16 which the doctor proclaimed is quite low and chemo won't do much for me. Boy was I happy. I'll now be taking Femara for at least 5 years and have frequent follow up visits and tests. But that's it!

It's truly unbelievable that from the time I had surgery until my treatment was finished was 12 days. Of course I'm still healing and have the maintenance drug, but I sure got lucky.

This will likely be my last posting. If I continue it will be more on a monthly basis just for major events, like the birth of our first granddaughter.

Thanks to all who have followed my story and given me so much encouragement.
