Well, I’m happy to report that I survived my one year cancerversary with no tears. There are still so many days and firsts to remember, but it is a huge relief to get that one out of the way. And just like I thought, the days leading up to it were far worse than the actual day.
My birthday was honestly, not a good day – a combination of many things. Next year, I think I will just skip it.
Moving on from that…
The Claritin seems to have helped the bone pain. Last night I was pretty sore, but other than that, it’s been much better. Now that the kids are back in school, I’m looking forward to walking on the treadmill at the gym a few mornings a week and focusing on taking care of our home and family. (Well, let’s be honest. I’m not looking forward to going to the gym it, but I’m going to do it because it’s good for me and I need to. I hate exercising. I would much rather eat dessert.)
Here’s what’s coming up for me:
Friday 9/12 – mammogram, radiation Dr. follow up, zometa infusion
Tuesday 9/20 – Follow up with the oncologist to see what the plan is now that active treatment is over
Friday 9/23 – Follow up with the plastic surgeon (This should be a funny one. I can’t wait to hear what he has to say. I’m pretty happy with how it all looks after radiation. We’ll see what he thinks!)
Jotted the dates down to pray with you. So glad you are doing well, you look wonderful!
Happy that things are going better for you. I don’t like going to the gym either. I go for my old bones and heart. Keep smiling . You are such a strong and beautiful young lady. Prayers for all you my endure this week. Take care. Thanks for keeping use informed.
Hey next time you’re at the gym, look forward to that endorphin high you get from pushing forward!
OK! I will!
I would rather eat dessert too! Sometimes as the main course! Thank the Lord that He brings me to my senses and urges me to get out and walk.
Lifting you up in prayer:)
