You've been through a lot, dearheart
I'm so glad that is behind you and hope the CT scan in September shows a very good result. I hope you do not need the back surgery--For a time I worked for neurosurgeons and I know that's a tough surgery. But, guess what, Char--you're one tough cookie and if it does come to that, you're going to weather that storm as well.
I thought I was going to just let my hair be salt and pepper, I was so excited to have hair back. But, I have to say, once I got used to having hair again, I decided I liked my look better with no gray.
Sorry CT is so far away from upstate NY--you'd definitely be a welcome addition to the get together.
Hope you have a great summer and enjoy your great life!

A year! Hard to believe sometimes, isn't it? I know when I hit my cancerversary I looked back and just saw a blur, too.
Isn't it wonderful how the brain fuzzes out the times of our lives that are so awful? I'm grateful for it anyway. I ran across a picture of myself in the middle of last summer and chemo, etc. I couldn't believe how sick I looked. I don't remember looking or feeling that BAD! I started to delete it from my camera, but realized this is one of the few photos I have of that time and I really need to hold on to it to remember just how far I have come.
Congratulations to you!!

Char Congratulations!!
Char,
Congratulations on 1 year survivorship. Good luck with your upcoming tests and appointments.You and I almost two years a part. My breast surgeon consultation was on May 12, 2008, surgical biopsy (lumpectomy) on May 16, 2008; official cancer diagnosis on May 24 and unilateral mastectomy on June 24, 2008. I had four more surgeries after that and doing ok.
Wishing you to continue dating NED.

Char, I have a good feeling
Char, I have a good feeling about your 1 year checkup. Isn't it a good feeling to be one year out? As you can see, I tried the no dye for 2 years or so... looking at pictures now, I think I looked older but never worried about that, kind of nice not having roots (I was pretty white by my early 30's, so I was a redhead, brunette, blonde etc. fun changes).
Good luck on the surgery, and I am so glad that we can all be here for each other. When I read your posts and see your picture, I see such a kind smiley face!

Char I wasn't around for the beginning of your journey but you can be rest assured I am here for the celebration. You are one amazing woman and I have learned so much from you. Good luck with your upcoming surgeries and tests. As for the hair, mine is starting to come back nicely and I think that blonde color bottle is calling me home. LOL

Agree, thank you for all the support
you give others in the midst of what you are going through. You're a fighter and I pray the hardest times are behind you. Congrats on your fast approaching "cancerversary". It's truly a blessing to have each other for support, care and kindredship!

I had
my annual gyn appt on Monday. Hopefully Pap smear will come back ok. He didn't feel anything out of the ordinary. I keep forgetting to tell him thanks for saving my life. He's been my gyn for more than 33 years and delivered my son who will be 33 next month. He's helping me lose weight and really cares. Hopefully my breast surgeon and onc appts will go well in June. I planned a cruise for February to celebrate mine and hubby's birthdays. That's being optomistic! Thanks to all of you for your support.
