Six more month free!

Today, Dec 2, 2011 is the longest I've gone since my first Sarcoma diagnosis in Jan of 2007 without seeing a doc or have a test of some sort. It had been six months, and I was used to every three since the beginning. But good news for me. My chest CT is clear and we will not do another until June 2012' along with an MRI on my leg, as a yearly precaution. I had some big concerns this time that turned out to be nothing. There was a lump above my right thigh, Doc O deemed nothing He believes much of my pain in my leg is "his fault" from all the vascular stuff he had to cut out to take out the tumor and vein reflux is just part of it. There are simple enough procedures to handle this. When the cardio vascular surgeon learned I'd had two thorochotomies he and a new found respect for me like I was a war hero I will deal with this vein thing in a few weeks. Another concern i had was this upper respiratory infection I am fighting and how that might present some "spots" on my lungs. My first thorochotomy turned out to be an infection and not sarcoma, and I am determined to never be cut like that again if I don't have to be.

It was all a great relief and we are both so pleased! Boy, will I sleep good tonight! Our Xmas trip to England is stil up in the air as Bob has jury duty and we don't know how long he will be tied up with that and I have lots of work to do before year end. Bob!a going to be a grandpa in mid Jan so he may need to schedule his trip then instead. We will know more next week.

We hope you enjoy your weekend I know I am cherishing every moment of mine! By the way, as a early holiday gift, Bob made the first two years of this blog as a hard back book so I guess I am published now. I am hoping either Angelina Jolee or Halle Berry plans me in the movie!

Take care, and have a wonderful holiday,
Love,
Geri
