The Best News

Today was a Good News Day for me. Dr O'Connor gave me the news that I do not need to do Chemotherapy! It is considered that the surgery and radiation are sufficient treatment for me at this time, and there is not a reason to do a regimen of Chemo. Of course there is never a complete guarantee that cancer could not recur, but my odds are only a little more than the general population, and I will take those odds. They feel confident that since the cancer was caught very early, there is every possibility that the surgery and radiation will have taken care of the problem. That's why we do those Mammogram's. It really is worth it to catch this early!!!!

Since I don't have to give up drinking for chemo, here's a toast to the Mammogram Departments Everywhere.

Burning the midnight oil to get the post in I see! :-) Jess and I are both thrilled that there is no reason for you to go through the ordeal of Chemo. While I think highly of that treatment for saving Tyler, we're definitely glad that you don't have to go through it. We second the toast!!

Thanks for being here . . . said...

Pass the word on Mammogram. They aren't fun to be sure but neither is finding breast cancer late. They do save lives and health and the only way to really catch these things early. It really makes a difference
