One year ago

Sept 8th was the one year anniversary of my mammogram, then second mammogram, then ultrasound, then second ultrasound by the radiologist herself and her proclamation that I needed to have a biopsy and she wanted me to have it within a week. "Gee, doc, do you think it's anything serious?" Well, a year has passed. I've had the lumpectomy, the ONCO DX evaluation, the port installation, the chemo and the radiation. My hair is back, although not as long as I used to wear it, but long enough to get lots of compliments on the style--same color, but with some curl now. I've pretty much weaned myself from this discussion board, no longer needing to know what everyone thinks about everything breast cancer related. I go in October for my first mammogram since treatment, and I will be relieved to have that out of the way.

I guess I just wanted to tell all of you newbies that a year from now, hopefully you will be where I am--no longer thinking of cancer every minute of every day. It was a LONG year, but it did eventually pass. My blessings to all of you--I hope things go well for you.
