Had a PET scan last Thursday and it showed no evidence of desease. Am I happy? Yes, now I can finally complete my reconstruction. If this is gonna get me I'm gonna die with normal looking breasts. (if there is such a thing)
Although I am relieved that the PET scan was clean. I still am very very guarded. I've been told twice in the past 3 years that I"m cancer free only to find out months later that the dreaded cancer has returned.
People ask me if I'm in remission. I'm not sure if remission is the correct word. For now there is no cancer in my body that shows up on a scan. I hate to sound like a negative Nelly, but I just want to get through 18 months cancer free. I think that's my new goal. Some people want 5 years, I want a year and a half.
Christmas was wonderful, it was awesome to have all 7 children at our dinner table. We are the Brady Bunch plus 1. I am glad it's over. Sometimes it's stressful to try to make everyone happy and give everyone the memories that they deserve. Most of the time you work so hard at it that you neglect yourself. Now I now how my mom felt all those holidays. She worked her butt off so everyone would have the great memories which we all have becuase of her selfless effort.
