Pet scan results show no cancer!

What a relief. Now to start the next phase. I'll be taking tamoxifin daily and receive injections of Zoladex every three months to prevent the production of estrogen. In addition, I will also receive Zometa every six months to keep my bones strong. Breast cancer likes to return and live in the bones.

I'll start reconstructive surgery around the first of November.

Thank you for all your prayers.

Pet scan scheduled for Monday morning

Some of lab results are a little high so Dr. Leo is scheduling a Pet Scan for Monday at 8:00 a.m. He said most likely it is nothing to worry about but he wants to make sure. Waiting for test results is so hard. Thank you for your prayers.

Done with chemo!


My last chemo treatment was last Thursday, September 9, 2010! So happy to have it behind me and praying I'll never have chemo again.

I celebrated with one dozen pink roses from my step-dad Ted; lunch, signage, and balloons with the girls, pix with the team at Babb Cancer Center, and ringing the bell!

Pictured in the group photo are left-to-right: Terri, Me, Angelica and Dr. Leo. The medical team at Babb Cancer Center are so awesome. I would highly recommend them to anyone fighting cancer.
