Breast Cancer Recovery Update

Hi Everyone following this blog and my recovery process!   I went to the Oncologist doctor (Tetef) on Monday and "everythng looks fantastic!"  My blood tests came out great and no new lumps.  The pain I feel now and then in my right breast and underarm area are from the scar tissue pulling.  The more I use my arm, the more I feel the burn.  No problemo.  I can deal with that.  The Tamoxifen I am taking makes me gain weight and my hair thin, but it is supposed to reduce my risk of getting cancer returning by 25%.  I know someone who stopped taking it so they could lose weight and they got cancer back.  I'll keep taking the Tamoxifen.  Just 2 more years on it.  So that makes it 2 and  a half years I'm cancer free!  Whoohoo!    Thanks for following along and caring about my recovery!



If you are going to donate to any organization this month (because it is Breast Cancer Awareness month), PLEASE donate to the Breast Cancer Solutions organization.  You get a tax deduction  because of the Nonprofit charity and they help women get treatment who couldn't afford it plus, they helped me out significantly when I couldn't work as much.
