All Good Again!
Good news today...MRI was all clear, cancer marker is still low, blood counts are up, All Good! She even agreed to give me hormones!!! I've moved up to the every 6 month checkup from every 3 months too! 1 1/2 years until the 5 yr mark! Bring it on 40! Can't wait for 42!

It's been a while...
Hi all, it's been a while since I posted (according to my mom:)).
I had my checkup in December and all seems to be good. She says my blood levels are stable, no reason to believe anything is wrong.
The spot in my back is still bothering me, but I'm not ready to do an MRI to find out what it is. I am very claustrophobic in the MRI and must drug myself to oblivion to do it. I have a breast MRI scheduled in the summer, if it's still bothering me then, I will do the back at the same time. My chiropracter seems to think it's a muscle that is attached to one of my ribs and it just needs to be rehabbed.
I can't figure out what the heck I did. The only thing I can come up with is the rope swing, into the lake this summer. Thank you Mike Fox and my kids for dogging me into doing it! Those of you who know me, know I am not the most coordinated person. So, here's how it went: I screamed like a girl, let go with one hand, eyes closed the whole time and forgot to let go with my right. I slid down the rope until I hit the big knot on the end jerking my arm/shoulder and then let go. Oh, and then I hit the water on my side...it was like falling on the ground. It was fun...never do it again...glad I did it, but now I'm paying for it. Those of us over 30 know, or at least we should know, that we can't do this crap anymore! Ah, life lessons!
Talk to you next time I get a checkup!
Love,
E
