The Doctor's Final Say

Well, my doctor's appointment was this afternoon and she confirmed that I, indeed, am cancer free. Yay! :) As we were visiting, though, she was taking her sweet 'ol time telling me what the future plans were, so I finally blurted out, "What does this mean for the future?!" She said, "What do you mean?" I said, "How long before I have to do this testing again?" Do you know her response? Two years. Ugh. I said, "I thought I'd get to wait for FIVE years!" She said, "Oh, no...not yet! Someday, though!" Ugh. So, the new plan is that I'm cleared for two years. The year 2010 is when I will do this testing business again. If I get good reports then, then I'll be cleared for THREE years. And, so on.

It took me about two hours to fully accept the news of having to test again in two years, but I finally was okay with it and I'm glad that I don't have to worry about it for a long time! I'm moving on!!! :o)

In other news, here's my star of the month for the month of May at Curves! Wahoo! :) If you remember last month's star, you'll see that the loss is just a bit more. :o) Now...I just was weighed and measured today for what will be the month of June on the stars board and I think I'm going to get up on that one, too!!!!! My total loss this past month...10.5!!! I lost 7.25 pounds and 3.25 inches. Wahoo, wahoo, WAHOO!!!!! :o) I'm going to catch up to my good friend yet when it comes to weight loss! She knows who she is, too, so I don't need to mention her name! ;) I'm very proud of her and she inspires me SO much to be healthy! It's been a great encouragement for me! :)

And that, my friends, concludes this season of "Cancer Testing 2008"!! :o) Thank you for ALL of your support, prayers and encouragement!!! There are plenty of others out there that we know who are battling this ugly beast called cancer, so let's not forget to pray for them, too, and to send encouragement their way!! It helps more than you realize! :)
