Well, my insurance must think I'm cured...I had to self-pay my yearly with my rad/onc who is following my colorectal cancer...lol....

He is Mr. Wonderful. He got so excited that he could still 'feel' my staples from my reenstamosis...ask if I do self exams...told him that's what HE was for, as well as supplying me with eye candy...ROFL!

HE examined the breast 'lump' and said..."feels like fat to me, I'm not worried, but I can see you are, so I am ordering an MRI to rule out anything". WHAT a guy!!!!

Then we sat and talked about how cancer changes lives...and he said it well..."You are making memories during your fight...not just yours, but the people around you are going to remember how you were during the fight. It is important for everyone that you stay as upbeat as possible, but also show when you need support.". I told him about everyone here...and how amazing they (you guys) are....

Hugs, Kathi

    The feeling of someone thinking you're cured has got to be worth the cost of admission!! Congratulations and the MRI is a great idea. It's nice to be able to put things to rest (like your mind).

    congrats on a good check up!! Way to go girl! I'm in a bunco group and they ask me questions about my cancer. They always say, "you don't have to answer if you don't feel comfortable". But I'm a very open person and don't mind talking about it. They have all told me they feel so much better knowing me and knowing if I can get through it they can too. It gives everyone hope. Of course they are always there for me when I need a mini pity party. LOL I say mini because I will only allow myself to feel sorry about this whole thing for fifteen minutes..then it's time to get over it and get on with the day. Teresa
