I went to the oncologist today and she said I was "doing great!" I'm so excited and it felt good to hear. It was funny, remember we know each other from my dentist and she said she was at the dentist's office last week and they were talking about me and my good attitude. She told him (dentist) that she never saw me "not" smiling. I'm pretty sure I had some "not" smiling days, glad she didn't see me those days!
We went on to have my exam (what would a day be like where I didn't whip out my breast for ALL in the room to see.......... it will be such an adjustment to not show it on a continual basis, maybe I'll look into job vacancies at all these gentlemen's clubs.......) and as she was checking out the breasts, she was amazed I had no signs of radiation. She kept asking me if I was going to radiation and I kept saying yes. She grabs TWO other nurses and the other Dr. in the practice to come in and look at my breast, to show off how well I was doing with radiation.
I love praise, I respond well to praise, but I'm so TIRED of everyone seeing my breasts. Although I did get tickled and I think I turned a little pink (I don't turn red, just pink). Seriously, I'm going for a new career path.
After having such a glowing report, I did get some not so good news today, there's a chance that this chemical post menopause that I'm in may subside and then RETURN again when I'm older, wth, really??
Then I headed back over to the hospital to sit with my friend who had a biopsy today. It really made me flashback on my situation and have some nervous feelings. I would gladly do this cancer thing all over again if I could take it away from all of my family and friends whom I love dearly. I don't want anyone I know to ever have to do it, EVER.
You may have noticed that ECT has been very quiet lately, I have her locked in a closet with a heavy pad lock on it. :) She had to be put away last week when she went nuts on a man in front of her at Walmart. Walmart just brings out the worst in people, they even have a website devoted to it!
I almost forgot, I was getting on the elevator this morning after radiation to go be with my dear friend and when I got on I got on with a nurse who looked familiar, but I couldn't place her. She said "Caledonia Wheeler", do you remember me? (I hate it when people do that to you!) Anyway, I did remember she was the nurse who removed my port. I said "Yes, you're the port remover!" She just laughed and she said "You're absolutely right, I recognized you from your EYES (isn't that crazy) she said I've never seen eyes likes yours." I thought that was very sweet and she's the third person this month to say that to me!
