YAY!!! The worst is over!

Now it is wait and see time. I will have to see my oncologist every 3 months for various scans and exams for the next two years. I am high risk for it to come back. The most common time for it to show up is around year 2-3. All I can do now is reduce my stress and live a healthy life. I will have to get an echocardiogram because I was having some chest pain after a short easy cardio workout. Hopefully my heart will be ok.

At the end of my infusion, my nurses came in singing a song. They had a certificate of completion that they all signed and a bottle of Martinelli’s Apple Cider. It was very sweet. Here is the picture we took!

Just wrapping up the song!


The ladies pose after singing!

I love my nurses!



Alan, my mom, and I got our pictures taken at Discovery Park in Seattle by one, Amy Kiel! It was very cool. I can’t wait to see how they came out! She is a busy woman though, so it will be a little while. I promise to post some pics as soon as I get them. It was so much fun. We laughed a lot. Amy is one of my all time favorite people.

We have spent a lot of time outside this last week. We took extra walks and did whatever we could to soak up the sun! It is so nice to have such sunny warm weather. We actually got into the 70s this week. It helps my soul and body so much.

So I did a dance dare. For those of you who don’t watch the Ellen Show which I do every day, she has asked people to send her videos of them dancing behind people who don’t know that is going on. I did this on my last day of chemo! I don’t have very good dance moves as I still have such limitation with my hip, but I did what I could! Yes this is embarrassing, but who cares? When have I even bothered to not put it all out there! I am a silly girl! Also, I had no music to listen too...

  2. Bummer - I couldn't view the video! It's just a blank space. I do have a good imagination, though, and I've seen enough of Ellen's Dance Dares to fill in the blanks!
