A year ago today was my last chemo treatment.  YIPPEE!!! yeah Time sure flies!  Life is so different in many ways - all good ones.  I see things in a different light now and appreciate everything that much more.  I am truly blessed to have you ladies as friends.  You made my journey so much easier and for that I will be eternally grateful.

 

Life is busy with school and work.  This class is harder than any class I've ever taken, but I will muddle through.  I still am blaming chemo for my loss of brain cells.  LOL 

 

I have recovered nicely from the TRAM flap.  I see the PS on May 9th for a follow up and probably schedule the nipple and lift/reduction on the other side.  My slow healing wound is finally almost closed.  I am so happy I went through with this.  I am absolutely LOVING my flat tummy! 

 

I had a follow up with the rads onc last week and he said I don't need to see him for 6 months.  I see the onc next month (still on a 3 month schedule with him).  So far so good. 

 

Well, that's my update.  I will try to post more often.

PS I am still forgetful too or I will start a sentance and then blank, I guess it is just a lasting reminder of the chemo.

I can't believe it's been a year either.  This is great!  Way to go, Kath!

 

Keep on truckin'  Enjoy that class.  Maybe you can graduate to being braindead like me, LOL

Oh Ellen, belive me, I FEEL brain dead in this class.  It's so hard, but I think I'm getting the hang of it.  It's a lot of material.  A couple of weeks ago we got to see 2 cadavers and were identifying muscles on them.  I did quite well.  The smell was quite overpowering, though.
