Well, you all get to hear about me, but I don't know who you are! Drop me a comment if you want me to keep blogging! Does anyone read this anymore?!
Well, since I last blogged, I haven't really had too much going on. I have a little lymphedema under my arm, but not enough to require draining. I have had a bunch of lab done for the doctor in NY that is going to help me with my nutrition and supplements. My cholesterol is great at 144, so heart disease is not gonna kill me! And, my cancer markers were in the "normal" range. Which I think is a good sign! Can't be a bad one! My white and red blood cell counts were a little low, as were my platelets, but that has been pretty typical since been in treatment. I started a Breast Cancer Survivors class a few weeks ago. It meets 2 times per week, and last a couple hours. We discuss health issues for the first hour and workout for the second hour. I am back to running. I do a couple miles at a time right now, and the rest of the time I work on strengthening and stretching. My chest and arm are still pretty tight since my surgery, so I am working on that. We have some pretty interesting guest speakers and I am learning more than I thought I would...kinda nice to have some of my feelings validated, as well.
What am I thankful for!? Indoor playgrounds during the winter time, State Holidays, and being part of a group that understands some of what I am going through!

Hi Tracy! We check on you often and it's good to know how you are doing. (You're in our prayers!) We enjoy your humor, wit and honesty. I've laughed out loud and have cried over your posts. (I have told Dan you really should have been a journalist!) Since Skye is one of Jack's best friends, we have to keep track of you! We've got lots of baseball games to attend in the future, babe!
Deonne
Yup! Still reading! I kinda grew up with Dan and my wife works with your mother in law.
Hang in there. You are a source of inspiration in all your adversity.

Hi Tracy, I got your blog link from one of my co-workers. I'm 39 with two small children, and I'm still in chemo from my diagnosis last October. I'm starting the same breast cancer recovery group you're in, but I'm doing it in March! It's a small town, isn't it? Oh, and you're not the only one in counseling. ;-)
We love you sweetie! You're in our thoughts and prayers!! You're always welcome to come to Cali!
Hi Sweetie~
Just wanted you to know that I check weekly to read any updates you may give.
You have touched so many souls with your blog!
Please keep on blogging. " )
