New Oncologist & Plastic Surgeon appts

You always wonder when you change dr's if you did the right thing. Well, I did. I just love Dr Krekow. My check up went fine. Everything looks good. My white count is still low but it can take time to recover after chemo. Sometimes it never recovers. It just depends on my bone marrow. If it doesn't come back up it will be okay. I don't know what levels they compare but the red count is good and so are the others. We talked a little about the future and what we are going to do to keep up with me. She said that there is a newer medicine that I really need take but not for a couple of years. I am doing good on the tamoxifen. I will have scans every six months for now. My next scan will be in March and I see her again in July. I feel at peace with her. I know she will stay on top of everything and do her best to keep me healthy.

I saw Dr Heistein the end of December. He said everything looked and felt great. I will see him again March 1st to discuss the next step of reconstruction. I am loving the new implants. They really are like real breast.

February 20th it will be a year. It is hard to believe, it seems like it has been ten years since they told me I had cancer. I think Brian, the kids and I are going to have a party. We made it!!!

Susan G Komen for the Cure

Brian, the kids and I are doing the race, well walk, on April 24 in Ft Worth. I have attached a link to my page for the race. I hope you will be able to join me. If not please help by donating any amount. It doesn't matter how large or small, it all counts. Hopefully one day they will find a cure. I am proud to wear pink and be able to say I am a Survivor!
