Happy Cancer Day
One year ago today I was diagnosed with cancer. This morning my husband wished me "Happy Cancer Day."
Wow what a year!
Who would have thought a year ago that:
I could give myself a shot (a blood thinner) every night without even flinching.
That I would lose all my hair... twice.
That I would finally get down below my "goal weight".....and then gain it all back.
That I can lay down during the morning, afternoon, and evening... and not fill guilty.
That I can impress family and friends with a list a page long of all the medications I take.
That I know more about cancer than anyone should have to.
Who would have thought a year ago that I would even know what multiple myeloma is.
Wow what a year!
We celebrated by meeting with my Doctor at Huntsman. Last week I had an MRI, blood work, and another biopsy. Today we went over the results. Everything looks good and "my numbers" are where they are supposed to be. We celebrated by going to lunch. Maybe tomorrow I'll bake a cake.
