The verdict is in.....................NO CHEMO FOR ME!...only the drug Tamoxifen. This is a hormone therapy drug that is used to treat my stage/type of tumor. Because they removed my tumor and no lymph nodes were invaded, no radiation is needed either. That is certainly the good news. The not so good part of all of this is the fact that the dreaded "menopause" may come on sooner than later. My boys were horrified when they heard the words ... mood swings... I just don't understand. Everything will go just smoothly if everyone will just listen to me. I see no problem with this avenue we must all travel :D
As for Joey, he is doing well. Been out swimming during these hot/humid days plus he was seen flying across the lake a few times over the weekend on the jet ski! We've been taking the boys wake skating, too. (This is the new version of wake boarding. Just no boots to put your feet into. Only a board with a foam top that they just stand on. Pretty cool, actually). Joey's activity level is getting busier by the day. We've been walking almost every night, too.
All 'n all, doing pretty well here. Still working on the reconstruction, but that will be a work in progress for awhile. Finishing up the expansions, just in no hurry for my next surgery. Will keep you posted on that one.
Until next time...God Bless and {{hugs}} to all...
