Seven Months Since My Last Post.....Sorry Hilda!

Hello to all, and my new friend Hilda from Miami Florida, who has been following my blog! She was worried about me since I had not posted in months and called Dr.. Bartlett's office in Boston, to see if I was ok!! Nicole, the sweetest girl and our office manager, emailed me after they got off the phone, to tell me the story and give me Hildas email!! So I have a new friend in Miami, and I have started to update the blog once again!

Last time I posted, 7 months ago, Emma was just starting 3rd grade! She is now in the countdown, like 23 more days, till the end of school and she will be in 4th! Hard to believe! She was just finishing up kindergarden when I got the breast cancer diagnosis, 3 years ago!!

So now I can say I am 3 years out....I go from my April 2007 diagnosis! All has been good! MRI's are clear, next mammo in June or July should be fine too!! I have one more 6 month followup with Oncology, then I can go yearly! Radiation Oncology just became yearly! Yippee!!

Now, on a personal note, my Left boob (cancer boob, "leftie" as I call her!) is looking so good and perky, and poor "Righty" is bigger and droopier.....thanks radiation!! I liken it to putting a piece of chicken in the microwave oven....it comes out much smaller after all the radio waves cook it!!!
I may need to get a small reduction on the right and a bilateral lift.....good thing I know a good guy!!! Probably this Fall, in our new office, under general anesthesia! Hey, somebody must test out the new anesthesia machine, and it may as well be me!!! Maybe some tummy lipo too!!

Can't do it till after 9/18 though, because me and my friends, Kristin L and Laura K are teaming the Duxbury Triathlon, I am doing the 13.1 mile bike ride!! Laura will be swimmer, Kristin L runner!!! Got a real road bike, and Dave and I are going out this weekend, I will follow him!!

Anyway....I have missed blogging, and will start doing more soon!!! Photos to follow! I am on laptop, and cannot access my photos from here, even though they are in here! Hmmmm???
