It was recently brought to my attention that I have not posted in awhile. Mainly because there was nothing new to report. Yesterday I met with my plastic surgeon to start the next step...reconstruction. I had to wait until one year after radiation was complete and that is next month so away we go.

Above is a link to what my next step is. I have to go this route due to having the radiation on my chest wall. I can honestly admit, I am not looking forward to this process at all. It is step one of a process that will extend through the summer. Currently step one is scheduled for June 13, however I am hoping for a cancellation in May so it can happen a little sooner, it would make it so much easier with my work schedule. The fact that this surgery is only done 2 days a month makes it difficult to get it scheduled.
In other news...I have been busy with weddings these past few weeks. I apparently worked myself sick and spent most of last week in bed. Not sure what it was..fevers, headaches and digestive problems, but no congestion or vomiting (thankfully). Tim and I will be heading off on a short cruise to the Bahamas during his spring break the first week of April.... looking forward to it and we are hoping to do some parasailing while there. It will be a nice break but I wish it was one day longer!
As always thanks for checking in on me, I am trying to keep up some type of "normal" life, but I will admit it is still sometimes a struggle. Just cause chemo and radiation are done does not mean it is over by any means.

You will be one of my stories at the Paranormal Kicks Cancer event in St Augustine this September. I won't use your name, but I will recount your story as a survivor and one who continues to kick Cancer's butt and NOT let it take over. =)
