Dear Bosom Buddies & Friends,
Last Friday I had my 6 month appointment with my WONDERFUL ONC! I had a GREAT CHECKUP------HOOTER SQUISH was GOOD and my BLOODWORK was also GOOD! YEEHAAAAAA! ;D
He is going to do a BONE DENSITY TEST in August before I come in to see him again. I will have been on Femara for 5 years coming this August and will be FINISHED with it!! YEEHAA!! ;D
I took Tamoxifen along with my 8 chemos over a six month period and then continued taking the Tamoxifen until I had been on it for 5 years. So I finished the Tamoxifen on June 24, 2004.
Then my ONC started me on Femara for an additional 5 years and I will be finishing it this June, so that will make 5 years on it too.
As most of you know---------being the ENERGIZER BUNNY I was able to take up POWER-WALKING when I was diagnosed with this HORRID DISEASE and was able to POWER-WALK while going through my 4 treatments of A/C and 4 treatments of Taxotere.
I have kept up the POWER-WALKING going on 10 years next month and started working out at the gym----PUMPING IRON----4 years ago! I KEEP GOING & GOING & GOING!
I had EARLY STAGE INV. DUCTAL CARCINOMA which was Grade 2 ER+ her2neu-. I had 13 nodes removed and 2 were POSITIVE. I had a mastectomy.
So my WONDERFUL ONC told me that after this next six month checkup he is going to have me start coming in ONCE a year.
I told him that I had the same thoughts since I wll be a TEN YEAR SURVIVOR of the HORRID BEAST on April 27th!! YEEHAAA! ;D
He was going to switch me to a ONE YEAR checkup when I was a 5 YEAR SURVIVOR but I told him that I didn't WANT too! So I have been going every 6 months for 10 YEARS now. However I am ready to be switched to a ONE YEAR checkup now.
So I am SO HAPPY that I had another GREAT CHECKUP. My ONC said that I just LOOKED GREAT and was doing EXTREMELY WELL!
You are ALL INVITED OVER to this BUNNY'S HUTCH for A BIG CELEBRATION!! I made a CARROT CAKE which is one of my FAVORITES!! YUM-YUM!
GOD BLESS!
KEEP THRIVIN' & SURVIVIN'!
