6 month check up is done!

I know it has been a very long time since I have posted anything and many of you have asked -- so here it is:

In June I met with the surgeon (Dr. Mary) and all looks good to her. She will want my bloodwork run again in August for Vitamin D and to see if I can reduce my 5,000 IU a day.

In July I met with the Radiation Oncologist (Dr. Panwella) who also gave me a thumbs up - other than not liking my decision to opt OUT of tamoxifan. She had a little concern about the skin color in the radiation area - but was very happy with the texture and my attitude! Yipee

Today I met with my new best friend Dr. Seligman -my Oncologist. He poked and prodded and gave me a very thorough check up. I get results of all of that next week. He also spent more time trying to talk me into "tamoxifan" but I wasn't going there. We finally agreed to talk again in December.

I am doing weekly accupuncture as well as practicing yoga 2 times a week. I am walking again every day and I finally feel like I am getting my energy back.

Work is crazy busy - but I love it! At the relay for life event recently, I heard a cancer survivor speak who talked about the quote from ROCKY where he says something like---...its not how hard you are hit - it how hard you fight back when you get hit! I'm continuing to fight with all of your love, support and prayers.

I will post again next week with my test results.

Much Love--- June
