Great News!

Thought I better get the news out...

The best news I have gotten throughout this journey came yesterday at my appointment with my oncologist. First, let me start by saying that this was a hard appointment to go to... I was having anxiety/panic attacks as the day grew closer, since this appointment would definitively tell me if I had to face chemotherapy or not. And you all know I have a hard time not having control of my future. Well, my future is bright!!!

It turns out, I will not have to go through chemotherapy after all! No chemo was what the doctor ordered!!!  Rather, I will have hormone therapy treatment for the next 5-10 years. I am not sure how I feel about hormone therapy, but I do know how I felt about chemo. So I'll take it one day at a time, at least that's what everyone keeps telling me. (My question is how do you do one day at a time??? Anyone with an idea or direction on how to do that would be appreciated.)

I will continue my weekly appointments with my plastic surgeon, and ongoing appointments with my cancer surgeon and oncologist. But, I am excited to be on the road to the new and better me.

I finally feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and like I said earlier, it is bright!!!

Thank you again to all of you for all of your kindness, prayers and love. I have made it this far because of you...  If I could give each of you a hug right now I would!!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
