March 16th - FINISHED IT ALL

March 29th / 31st - CT scans / met with surgical onc and onc - given clean bill of health and PS name to discuss recon and made appt for 04/12 (will more than likely do DIEP) - follow up in 3 months. 

I am finally finished with active treatment and can schedule recon at my convience. What a long journey this is starting 9 months ago.  I can remember back in June when I was given the dx and treatment plan thinking - this will never end.  Then starting chemo and thinking how miserable it was, but came here for support and was told over and over - I can do it.  And y'all were right I got through it - it is doable.  Not fun, but doable.  I did radiation, breezed through it only to have the ending a little rougher than I thought, but again I got through it with your support and understanding.  I know I'll need continued support, but wanted to thank all of you for your support, knowledge and understanding. 

I still have some recovering to do, but am looking forward to getting back to life and ......exercising regularly again.   To all of my Stage III exercise and weight loss sisters I really don't have any excuses now.  Time to walk, bike or find whatever I can to whip my butt back into shape......

THANK YOU     THANK YOU    THANK YOU
