Had my scan

and will have the results in the beginning of April. I am hoping that if something were there that I would get a phone call and come see me type of thing, but who really knows! So I will wait and try not think about it too much. Don't need to get crazier than I already am!

Kids are home for 2 week spring break, that will keep me on my toes... then we leave for part 2 of our delayed vacation... excited for that one!

Trying a 2 week eating challenge of 1200 calories a day starting today. Need to kick start this weight loss!

where has the time gone?

I can't believe it's been 2 months since I blogged... really need to get back at this. Just because the cancer is gone does not mean that I am done... I wish...

Wednesday I have my first follow CT scan... im sure all will be well, but with no results for a month due to my onc on vaca then us on vaca, its going to seem like forever! I do still have a node that I can feel, gets kinda irritating... I wish it would have disappeared completely. With it being there I am always touching it to see if it has gotten bigger. Of course you have to be careful because you can make it bigger by touching it... so frustrating!!! We are sure it is just scar tissue, but life would be easier if it was not a constant reminder of what may be lurking out there again...

On a positive note, we are getting geared up for part 2 of our tropical vacation that was postponed due to me starting treatment. We leave in about 3 weeks for... somewhere warm, lol... not booked yet!

Vegas has been booked for june and we are down there for the world series of poker again... good times :)  going with friends and hopefully meeting some new ones down there!!

Ok, guess that'll do for now... want to start checking in more, especially as I try to loose the weight I gained in treatment... just hard to get motivated right now!

All news is good!

Had a great start to the new year. My last onc appt, which happened to be the first one since treatment with my main onc went very well. The first thing he did was look at me and say ' so you did 4 months of treatments?' I replied 'yes' he said ' how long have you been done now?' I reply about a month, he follows this with ' that's about 2 weeks out, you look fantastic!'  It was so nice to hear that. I guess I tolerated treatment quite well, I have color and energy, which he was very happy to see. He also said that based on how my scan looked mid cycle and how things appear now, this is most likely behind me...

BEST THING TO HEAR!!!

So now I have the next three months with no drs or scans or anything besides living my life!

In 3 months I get a CT and see him again... then every 4 months for a while, which gets further apart the longer I stay in remission :)

Just as a footnote, had a great holiday season with family this year... and now the countdown to our vacation to the Dominican!!
