I actually went to the optometrist yesterday evening and got the ok to be fitted for contacts again!!! She didn't find any lasting chemo effects and said I had enough lashes and tears to wear them. Yay!!! Gave them up at the beginning of chemo since I knew my eyes would be so dry and no lashes would be a problem.

One more step toward feeling normal, now I can push my sunglasses up into my hair (as long as it doesn't fall off) just like any other summer.

Silly but happy,

Jennifer

    I say .. Celebrate getting back to normal .. ALWAYS!
    Nothing silly about feeling 'normal'. Breast cancer takes so much away from us -- Breast, Hair, Personality, Energy, Careers ...

    Enjoy and Celebrate walks, dinners out, contacts .. life without endless doctor appointments, radiation, chemo therapy and surgery.!!!!

    Strength and Courage.

    Thanks so much for understanding!!
    I can't express how fantastic it is to have ladies who get it. Family says yea that's good, but they just don't know what it means.

    I am sooooo grateful for all of you and for this site, I only wish I had found it sooner,

    Ha...
    I work for an optical company making gas perm contact lenses. I never gave up my lenses all through treatment, although I did and still do find myself removing them by the end of the work day due to dry eye. I love all these little celebrations we can now enjoy... My latest is being able to part my 1" inch hair growth. LOL

    Hugs,
