July 4th - Nationals was great even though I did not dance. Next Monday I will have a CAT Scan to check to see if there was any cancer that may have spread elsewhere.
July 25, 2007 - Well it is three months today since the chemo stopped. I have had a couple of minor set back but The Cat Scan was clear of all disease (cancer) and I had my chemo doctor appointment today. She says everything is looking good towards the road of improvement. I have changed from Tamoxafin to Arimadex - the 5 year pill to keep cancer from coming back. Every 6 weeks appointments to have my port flushed and I see the chemo doctor every three months. I will be getting a mammogram soon and check in with the surgical oncologist. Thank you again for all the prayers - they are working. Please continue to pray for everyone affected by any illness it really is appreciated.
