A check up with the oncologist yesterday indicated that there are several good things going on in my body: Slightly elevated HDLs, great LDL, thyroid is finally balanced out, blood sugar under excellent control and best of all, no sign of recurrence. So....I've slowly tackled one thing at a time, now it's time to focus on getting in more movement in my life along with more veggies and fruit. Let the weight loss begin!

Yesterday I quickly walked the entire hospital campus between appointments.

Today I am taking Jeremiah for a walk, lunch with my church friends and then the baby and I will go swimming.

My body is tired and I was told yesterday that to expect that for up to a full a 2 years following chemo...they said, "We waged a full fledged assault on your body. We understand it's frustrating but you are not lazy, your body is recovering and it takes time. Be patient with yourself." It's hard for me to fathom that something can take THAT long to recover from....it was over in June...surely (I think) it should be gone and out of my system....but they say otherwise...so ok. I'm moving forward and doing what I can! What more can I ask from myself?

Have a great day everybody!
