It is with cautious optimism that I announce one year of NED! It has been quite a year since the cancerous lymph nodes were removed. I held my breath at every scan and blood draw. I needed to relearn how to live again-making decent progress on that part. I needed to trust myself which was hard to do.
So, I am now looking forward to walking the Brooklyn Bridge with my Weight Watchers friends on Sunday. I could not participate last year.
Dave got us tickets to see Bon Jovi twice-we have decided to live and not let stuff pass us by.
We are all clear to go to Paris.
I am enjoying almost all fruits and veggies again-they were off the list during treatment and antibiotics times last year.
I relax a bit more now.
I found a new place to Zumba and comprehend that change CAN be good.
I do find myself a bit more withdrawn at times but am ok with it.
I have a foster dog in the house after a year off.....and love it.
The garden is planted-and bigger than last year and I didn't need as much help as I did last year.
I have been hearing some really good, off the record info about people who have had the pituitary problem on Ippi.
So, I guess the best way to celebrate is by being 'normal' and 'ordinary' which was denied to me for so long in the last year. No special celebration or party or dinner....just a regular old weekend that most people take for granted. Yes, I do go outside...slathered in sunscreen, with a hat and under an umbrella.....but I am not going to be a hermit. Live your life....it's the only one you get!
