This time next week...I will be done with treatment! I'm so happy and relieved! It's been a terribly hard 8 months and I'm so thankful it's coming to an end. I'm healthy and happy! I've been cancer free now for 5 months. I plan to stay this way! I plan to live a long healthy life and I will enjoy every minute of it!

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers! Your support to me has been a tremendous help and inspiration! I have been truly blessed to have all this wonderful support. My family and friends...is exactly what keeps me fighting!

Merry Christmas!!!

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year!

I only have 7 more radiation treatments to go! So with all the holiday breaks, I should finish up Jan. 4! I can't wait! My skin is really red and peeling. Ella says it's looks really disgusting and she is right! It's very sore and irritating but only a few more days and then it can heal up!!!

I've started a clinical trial with my medical oncologist. I will be in this study for the next 3 years. I will be monitored every 4-6 weeks, so I feel "safe"! The study is for women who's cancer is currently in remission. (That's what it reads but I haven't gotten the verbal words from a doctor, still waiting to hear those words!) The study is investigational and is being done to find out if adding a drug (a bisphophonate) to hormonal therapy or chemotherapy will help prevent cancer form spreading to the bones or other parts of the body. I will be in getting an IV injection of one of these drugs every month for the first six months, then every 3 months after that for the next 2 1/2 years. Like I said they will be monitoring me very closely!

My spirits have been pretty good these last couple of days...I guess it's the spirit of Christmas! This is one of my favorite times of year!

Take Care and God Bless!
