doctor appointment.

we had my doctor appointment today at 10am. it went great. it was full of hugs and congratulations. not trying to be cheesy but it really was exciting. to tell my nurse when i was in the lab that i was cancer free. she gave me a high five. then Andi our p.a came in and she gave us hugs and we talked about how my scan was GREAT and there was nothing...not even a small speck of cancer. then dr. lee came in and we hugged. he and justin did too. since the beginning justin has been trying to become dr. lee's best friend ever since we began seeing him, but dr. lee does not seem interested he is all business. sad for justin.

so here is the game plan post cancer: a ct scan every six months for the first two years and then blood work in between. and we have to wait at least one maybe two years until we try for another little baby. basically because the small percentage of people whose cancer does come back it tends to happen in the first two years. so we will wait until next year until we discuss baby number two. then we talked about a little bit of pain i have been having in my left hip (where some of the cancer was). i have not said much about it because it was more discomfort than actual severe pain like before i was diagnosed. so when the scan came back so so so clear i was not real worried. but i mentioned it to my dr. today just so he was aware of it. i had not told justin before this...so he was a little surprised to say the least. i just did not want to worry anyone but did want my dr. to be aware of it. so just be sure i have an MRI tomorrow at 6:45am. dr. lee said he is not looking for anything in particular and does not seem concerned he just wants to be sure and the MRI should detect something if there is something there at all. so if you think of it...pray for a healthy clear scan. we will get the results on friday. i am not worried about it. justin is more than i am. i do not think it is anything at all...but i am glad my dr. is just being safe and making sure it's nothing we need to do anything about. so that is it. i am tired. my wbc was real low today so i am going to bed.

  5. Whoo Hoo! Miracles Happen! You now enter a new phase and acceptance of a realization you've waited for for so long....almost like carrying a baby and then delivering. You keep staring at them thanking God for they are a precious miracle. That is the feeling of the words "cancer free". I thank God for those who went on before us who fought so hard and are now in heaven. Without them and their contributions to the war....well God has used their fight to help win our wars....in so many ways. We need to stand proud and say, "I have never fought alone, and now I will let my light shine!" God Blesses!
