Last Doc Appointment of the Year!!!

√  CHECK...

Phil and I are both very happy that today was my very last doctor appointment of the year!

Me and Phil, aka Neutrophil

I met with Dr. Cindy Scharfen, my radiation oncologist, as a follow up for radiation that ended late September. While the treated breast is still very dark and leathery looking, she says I am on track and that the skin should look much more normal within a year. She has now turned my treatment and follow up back over to my oncologist, Dr. Ian Anderson.

So that it is it for 2011. And that feels so good.

It was December 2010 that this whole saga began. I found the lump and went through several diagnostic tests all in that month. Then in January I received the dreaded call.... "You have cancer".

So I am very thankful and happy to be moving on to 2012 very soon, to a healthier year, one filled with the joy of two adorable grandsons, getting back into our farm, and just saying good bye to the "Lost Year". And while I will never be free of cancer and what it has brought to our lives, I will be stronger, wiser, and hopefully a better person from it all.

And in the meantime, I will enjoy every ounce of this Christmas season.

Hugs,

Debbie... aka the cancer warrior ... AND SURVIVOR!!!
