Well I’m a little overdue with my post but thought today would be a good day…Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers that read this.  I had my doctor’s appointment in April and overall am doing pretty well.  I don’t have to go back until early July.  I am going to remain on Tamoxifen for awhile longer and other than some achy joints I really am doing well.

I believe that anyone who has had a life changing experience like cancer becomes a little apprehensive as each doctor’s appointment nears.  I felt pretty good before I was diagnosed with cancer, never would have thought I had cancer, really even when I found the lump….so as each appointment draws nearer I wonder if something will show up.  I still have my mediport in and my doctor asks me about taking it out.  I’m just not ready yet….not so much because I am worried my cancer will be back (although that is part of it), I just like having it available for all the labs, MRI’s, etc. that I still have to have.

My daughter came home from her first year of college on Friday night.  I worked late and my son picked me up.  I never suspected anything as he took me over to his house on the pretense that he needed to pick something up.  We got out of the car and he opened his garage door.  There was my family, taking my picture as I spied a cute little Saturn Sky with a big blue bow on the top.  I had said when I got diagnosed with cancer that when I got better I was getting a cute little convertible sportscar just for me.  My hubby had went out and got it for me.  What a guy!

This coming weekend is the Relay for Life.  I plan to go and walk with the other Survivors.  In a few months, I will be a 2 year cancer survivor.  Wow…hard to believe.

Happy Mother’s Day!  As always, thanks for your support.

Love, Lori
