My Check-up

Hello all,

I just had my second Onc check-up since chemo (8 months ago). The doctor said blood work was great and I talked him into not coming back for 6 months! He said usually he sees patients every 4 months (for 2 years) but if I promised to call him (if anything is wrong) then he'd go 6 months! (plus I will have had a colonoscopy by that time)

All good stuff, eh?

Our Relay for Life is this Friday and I'll be there walking the survivor lap for sure.

For you newbies....just keep fighting and save your energy for moving forward. And...keep coming back here. It's a great place to read and listen to what people have to say.

    Way to go, Claudia! Enjoy your time at Relay. I did my first survivor lap in May, and it was very emotional, but I was so happy to be there.
