I Caved

I've been having some pain around my ribs. My oncologist's office ordered up a bone scan for me to check for metastasis to the bones.

I decided to wait and let them call me. I was determined NOT to call the office and ask for my results.

This is what I told my friend:

"The old me would have been on the phone to the doctor's office the very next day asking for those results. But now, I look at it like this - what if it is bad news? I can't change it. Why would I want that bad news even one day sooner? Why not just enjoy as many days as possible believing that I am cancer-free?"




I made it four days & then I caved.

I called and asked for my results: all clear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm due back for another follow-up in December.

Oh and I also have to tell you: I am seriously loving my hair. I am 15 months post-chemo and my hair doesn't just look good it looks great. I really need to get some new pictures up. The one on the sidebar is quite outdated.
