Well! I'm just about off to Women's' Retreat and thought I should let you all know that I am thriving.
Two weeks ago I had two checkups and a procedure.
Dr L, Hematology Oncologist, reports I am fine.
Blood work shows blood is back to normal.
Bone density scan shows bones are still great.
Dr H, Radiation Oncologist, reports I am fine. Healing very well.
This week Dr. D, GI doc, performed a 'flex sig'. I call it 'colonoscopy ez'.
Prep was easier, and there was no anesthesia.
There was pain - brief but nasty. As intense as hard labor, but only about three short hits of it. I only hope I didn't disturb the neighbors - I yelled some, and growled.
But it was definitely worth the pain to not have to be knocked out.
The little camera showed minor radiation damage - I could see little red spidery arteries - but Doc. saw NOTHING that looked like it could be cancer.
So!! I am officially well, with no cancer discernible by man and his technology, and only minor damage from the Summer of Nasty Treatments.
AND! I feel great! Almost back in as good shape as I was when treatments began. Strength and endurance are 100%, but I'm still lacking a bit in the flexibility department.
Now, about those 10 pounds . . . back to fighting the old, long standing fight, sigh.
And the hair situation. So painfully slow. Sigh.
Enough! I'm outta here. Off to the beach!
Praise God, from Whom ALL blessings flow!
(and un-blessings too, but that's another subject!)
