Life has been good, considering. I guess on this blog "no news is good news" applies. So far this summer I have been able to take my son to the beach to visit family, enjoy a 10 year wedding anniversary vacation with my husband, and take a wonderful vacation with a dear lifelong friend of mine. I have also been able to make trips to St. Louis to visit/work at my businesses there.
All of this would not have been possible had I continued chemo. I know I may need chemo in my lifetime, but I am thankful it was not now. I am really living life to the fullest right now and learning to have no regrets!
I have felt great minus one week in June when I had a sinus infection that also resulted in some very swollen, sore lymph node inflammation in the right side of my body (neck, underarms). It scared me terribly. It also had fatigue accompanying it that knocked me down for a few days. I started an antibiotic. The swollen lymph nodes were gone quickly, and I started to feel better quickly. Whew.
I feel back to normal now. I go back to MD Anderson for a follow-up August 18. I am anxious to get there, yet also happy I don't need to get there sooner.
As always, thank you for loving and supporting me!
