It's been over 5 months since my last Radiation treatment. My hair has grown back. Had lost a little weight. I did lose 6 pounds and kept it off. For me, it was a good thing. My skin looks good. My fingernails ... still so, so. All in all though ... I feel great.
And I'm back doing what I love best! Gardening! In a way, I can compare myself to my garden. For the most part, plants will continue to grow... if you take care of them.
So, I have been busy taking care of me! I exercise, I am eating better. Lots of fruits, veggies, and water. I rest when I need to and I sometimes push myself, but not too hard. And I am thriving.
I've had my 3 and 6 month check-ups with all my doctors... everything OK. And this month, August 10, 2017, it will be one year since I was first diagnosed with Stage 1 Triple Negative Breast Cancer. September 12th I will have my one year follow-up mammogram and ultra-sound. On the 19th, I follow up with my oncologist for the test results.
And you know what? I have my husband, family, and friends to love and support me. So, I will continue ... PUSHING ON. Living and Loving my life ....
Dear Janie, I'm so pleased to hear everything is looking good and that you're back in the garden. You're doing all the right things - keep thriving. xx
