Dodging a Bullet?


This Halloween was the happiest I can remember (short of the time that all the people left bowls of candy on their doorsteps, and asked us to take only one...ha!)...but I digress.

Rich & I met with the Oncology Doctor on Halloween (cue the triumphal moving theme), and she agreed with my interpretation of the lab tests: NO CHEMO!!! Done! No radiation......nothing, well, except for reconstructing this slightly deflated boob in the months ahead and taking a daily medication.

Said medication is Arimidex@, which serves to stop estrogen production, that potentially could feed clandestine ninja cancer cells lurking about, and starve the bastards out.  Way too easy, right? One pill, once a day....for FIVE YEARS...maybe TEN, depending on ever-changing long-term studies. But still real good. I'm pleased.

Dodged that bullet.

Love to all.

  1. Sooo glad to hear that everything went the best that it could have and that you will be cancer-free soon! Hope all else is going well with you and Uncle Rich. Hope to see you on the next go around when you come into town.
