Happy Thanksgiving!!

I saw Dr freeman, the radiation oncologist on Monday. He thought everything looked great and he didn't want to see me anymore. He said I would be seeing enough doctors. I am glad to mark one off the list.

I have been taking the tamoxifen with no side effects. I am also taking a slew of vitamins. The oncologist called and said my vitamin D was low. He wanted me to take extra vit D. They also want me taking calcium because of the tamoxifen. I had the bone density test done. Good news, my bones are normal.

Surgery is in a little over two weeks, December 14. The expander's really haven't been that bad. I will be glad however to have them out and my permanent implants in. I am glad we will be able to get all the major surgery over this year. I have two more minor procedures, adding nipples and tattooing. Those will be next year.

What a year this has been, nothing we could of ever imagined. We have so much to be thankful for. I truly feel blessed to be here and cancer free. I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.
