Check up time...

Well, it's time for another 6 month check up with Dr. B. and I guess this will kind of be my 3 year check up since I won't be back to see him until after my 3 yr mark in September.

Topics of discussion will be trying out a new drug for the hot flashes....they are bad, really bad. My gynocologist suggested I try this new med but I want Dr. B. to ok it before I try it. I will also be talking to him about the back pain I have been having. It's been on and off for a few months...some days much worse than others. I tell myself it's just back pain but breast cancer very often spreads into the bones so it's just something I need to talk to him about so I can quit thinking about it every time it hurts. That's the thing that sucks about cancer...no matter how far out you are from treatment you can't help but think cancer when you have a new ache or pain.

Team Ta-Tas has been busy getting ready for the walk coming up in September. I lost a close friend a few weeks ago to this horrible disease. Her name was Lisa and she died a few weeks after her 39th birthday. She fought the disease for years and had one goal....to beat the disease and have a huge 40th birthday party. No one should have to set goals like that....that is why we need a cure.....I don't want to lose any more friends to this disease.

The kids are having a good summer. Jillian got her ears pierced today....she is so proud of herself for doing it. Right before she fell asleep tonight she said " I can't believe I got my ears pierced...I hope I don't wake up and find out that it was just a dream".....I love that innocence...we don't get to see it a lot these days but I love it when we do.

Thanks for checking in! I will do another update soon!
