I got some good news a week ago. My first mammogram since my surgery was normal! I followed up with my oncologist this week and we will do an MRI in 6 months and then another mammogram 6 mos after that and so on… She said we wouldn’t scan me forever and Tom was at my appointment and we just laughed as he has been scanned regularly for 10 years now. I have worked my way up to half the dose of the antihormone medication that I need to be on. The side effects are getting better and I know I will make it to my full dose soon. I am so thankful for my care team, they have been so supportive and have cheered me on the whole way and made sure I kept dancing. It felt weird to celebrate my bday this year. A year ago I was dancing in my living room with friends and eating 4 different types of pie and excited for my new job. A week or so later I got diagnosed and life continued to throw everything it had at us. This year I opted for a couple of quiet dinners, a movie and looking for ways to bring more peace into my life this coming year.
