Treatment finished at last

Hey Michelle

Thanks for your kind words.  I am there now!!! and over my horrible pneumonia which is good.  It was wonderful to finally get the insurance claim approved as I felt my fight was worth it, shame it had to get to the point of me complaining to insurance heirachy to get some action.

I have had a follow up mammogram but still waiting for the team meeting from the hospital where they will do comparisons with previous films and will get back to me.  Hopefully I don't get a phone call to go in and see them as that is what I am dreading now..  I have had my bone density test to keep a check on it now I am on Femara.  I see my chemo onco for follow up appt sometime this month.  Then hormone doctor in December and so it goes on but it is wonderful and makes me feel more secure knowing I am going to continue having regular follow ups.

The only thing plagueing me now is fatigue which I hope will slowly subside.  I am walking every day and getting out in the garden when I can (not today though as it is like a real winters day up here today unfortuntately, mind you we need the rain).

I won't look at returning to work until next year as I want to be there for my precious daughter when she has her lil princess at the end of this year or early 2013.  Then I will look at going back to work part time maybe??? 

Enjoy feeling better and not having to deal with treatment and side effects day to day.  It is a great feeling to be alive these days. 

I was listening to a couple of oldies yesterday while I was at our local monthly markets.  One old fellow said it isn't fun getting old and a lovely old spunky lady pipes up and said "sure beats dying young and not getting to see your children and their children grow up".  I felt sorry for the old guy cause she certainly put him in his place but hearing what she said definitely made my day.

LOL, Mich xoxo
