It's Been Awhile

I do apologize for not having posted in a long time.  Things moved so rapidly with the cancer treatment I hardly had time to breathe let alone post to my blog.

I don't remember where I left off so will give you a quick run down of the timeline.

November 26/12  found the lump
December 10/12  doctor ordered mammogram and ultra sound
December 18/12  mammogram & ultrasound
December 21/12  results came back positive for invasive ductal carcenoma
January 3/13        biopsy done
January 10/13      got results, referred to surgeon
January 16/13      saw surgeon
January 24/13       had surgery |(lumpectomy)
February 14/13    got surgery results
February 28/13     started radiation
March 21/13        finished radiation
April 22/13          back to work

I've been feeling fine, just some residual tiredness from the radiation.  I have my 6 month check up in August so I am hoping all is well at that time.

I want to thank Skippy for keeping such a close eye on me during this whole ordeal, she's been awesome.  And even though I have never met her in person it felt like I've known her all my life.  Thanks Skippy, it meant a lot!

  1. I know darn well I haven't done enough. But you do know how much I love you - and I am sorry I couldn't be there for you.

    BTW - the Canadian/American postal systems suck.

    STILL -

    BEST of ALL is THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BE OKAY. Everyone's prayers answered.

    You are so beautiful and I am so glad you are here, with us. Hugs my lovely. I love you!
