Jeez! You would think that I would take the time and post the results. NO. I didn't.
On March 11, 2005 I found out that I am CANCER FREE. It was a little weird going through the process. I finished my scans after waiting for two hours. Sitting around talking to all the other cancer patients in the waiting room. They come in and tell me. Come with me. There is a problem. I freaked out. They made me wash my hair because they said something showed up around my neck and wanted to make sure it wasn't in my hair. Nevermind that it was 40 degrees outside and they didn't have a blowdryer. They also didn't have shampoo, a comb or any towels. I washed my hair in one of the scanning room sinks with a bar of soap and blotted dry with paper towels. LOL. They re-scanned me and then sent me back to the waiting room. After another whole HOUR, they came in and got me. They had gotten DH from the big waiting room and talked to us in the HALLWAY. It's GONE. No more cancer! YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. DH was a little confused as to my new hairstyle and asked what the hell happened. I guess what happened was that when I left my babies in the morning, I was crying. Crying because I hoped that it was good news I was going to tell them. Crying because I hoped that I wouldn't have to go straight to the hospital for another round of treatment. I would have had to been away from them for another 2 weeks. Crying because I couldn't kiss them or hug them goodbye. When I cried, I wiped my tears on my face because I didn't have a tissue. Well DUH the tears are radioactive and stayed there and showed up on my scan. Who knew? LOL
Bottom line is, it's GONE. Hopefully that will be the end of it. Now I really need to get my self together and get the weight off. I joined a gym and started running on the treadmill every day before work. I get up an extra hour before work and get moving. I am really starting to see the difference. I have never been fat my entire life, and I am tired of shopping in the Big Girl section when I need something from the store. I will do it.
I also promise to keep blogging. I think it's good therapy. I am feeling better everyday and it makes me proud to say I am a Cancer Survivor.
Thats all for now. Thanks to my friends and family who have dealt with the evil bitch that I was for so long. Hopefully that's all over now and I can be happy once again!!!
