Spring

Well Spring is finally here!!!!!!!
glad to see warmer weather that's for sure.
Alot has been happening since the first of the year, much more since we got home from our vacation.
In Jan I went for a reg mammogram, came back with a lump in my right breast, I was sent for more mammos & ultrasound. we went to Washington DC the first week in Feb.
than on Feb 14 I had a biopsy, Feb 17 I was told I have breast cancer. On Feb 25 I had a lumpectmopy done. The dr did get it all out, no lymph nodes were affected, although he did take 1 lymph node out.
another Dr wanted to sent the cancer out for genetic testing, just to be sure I do NOT need chemo. Right now it looks like no CHemo. only Radation & the horomone pill for the next 5 years. which will push me into menopause-- bring it on, is all I got to say.
As far as stitching goes. For the past 2 weeks I have been working on my Halloween tablecloth hoping to have it completed today !!!!!!! Yeah.
I have finished If given enough coffee I could rule the world, 2 ornamnets & Halloween trivet, before starting the tablecloth. done since surgery(feb 25)
So I am trying to keep busy so my mind doesn't wonder to far. but sometimes when I am stitching I really don't won't to quit & go to bed, I have to make myself. then while trying to go to sleep, the mind wonders some, trying it keep it in check.
I really do not won't to take chemotherapy. Radation is fine with me or better for me anyways. (I HATE needles- in my arms) but love stitching needles LOL
will keep you updated about treatment.
Our local realy for life is in May, & the dr's office gave me my survivor registeration paperwork, so I can take the survivor lap this year. That made everything seem so real. My buddy Sandy is a survivor & she said she would walk with me on my 1st lap , hubby will be right there too. He has survived this with me, without him I would be lost! He has been a rock & soft spot all at the same time.
