Hmmmmm......strange, very strange!
By now you all know my nicknames for my host of Doctors, there is Dr. Hollywood (My Plastic Surgeon) Dr. McHottie (My Surgeon) and Dr. Serious (My Oncologist)..and can't even tell you the name I have for my new Gynie! lol!
So with my last chemo round in January, Dr. Serious pats me on the back and says see you in May....now I'm freaking! See you in May? What about other tests? What about making sure that all the cancer is really gone? And I'm told that when I had the full body bone scan followed by the full body cat scan that the cancer(tumors) wasn't found anywhere else in my body.......just my breast, so removing that breast was in my best interest.....totally agreed. Dr. Serious said that the Tomaxifen that I would be taking for a long time would take care of the cancer cells that survived chemo.......yes you heard me right, cancer cells can survive even after chemo....kinda made my blood run cold.
So with all the recent health scares, I've let my surgeon Dr. McHottie take care of them.....he is extremely thorough and I am forever grateful.....he orders the tests, I have them done and they send the results back to him....Well, I guess this suspicious lesion made him want to alert my Dr. Serious, so at 8:00 a.m. this morning my phone rings....it's Dr. Serious telling me that I need to get a Lung Cat Scan ASAP........done that already! (It's tomorrow afternoon) and then tells me that he will need to see me right away as soon as the results are in....strange thing is....I'm not in a panic!
Like I said before....it is what it is and I can't change that fact....I only have control over how I deal with it. Cancer took a breast, cancer (chemo) took a few months of my life.....but I won't let cancer take today from me. And to sit and worry all day will give cancer another day of my life.....not gonna happen! lol
I'm going shoe shopping! lmaoooooooo

Since I am a pharmacist in training, let me straighten you out on something....the definition of "chemotherapy" is "therapy with chemicals." Hate to be the one to break it to you, but since tamoxifen (a drug) is a chemical, then you are being treated with a chemical and therefore still undergoing chemotherapy. Don't worry, I'm sure your docs are taking the best of care with you. I'm happy to hear that you're doing so well. Keep your chin up.

My mother is a six year survivor - I watched her go through everything you're going through now. You both have the same attitude. You both are AMAZING! Keep your head up, keep smiling, keep fighting and above all keep SHOPPING!

Enjoy each day, that's what I do ever since coming down with my heart problems..my motto No One Or Nothing Will Get Me Down, works for me. Keep upbeat always dear. You are always in my thoughts and prayers....I can use a few extra pairs of shoes, size 7 medium please, lol...Arlene (AJ)

I have had bloods & x-rays done last week, and soon bone scans and ultra sounds. Like you its one day at a time and why spoil those days with 'what if's'.
Way to go girl! Lead on..... Jeanie xxx
I vote for a new pair of walking/running shoes! Breathe in the fresh air! But that's just me. I'm so glad to hear you in good spirits and not fearful. Good luck on your lung cat scan.

Shoes are good! Hopefully, everything else works out. Still, go for shoes and try some expensive chocolate! Expensive chocolate,shoes and either flirting or sex rank high on the list of life's happy things!! -Dawn-
So tough to do, but I admire your attitude! I think it is so important to keep the spirits up no matter what is happening or going to happen. Gerry http://jourals.aol.com/gehi6/daughters-of-the-shadow-men/
