NO, that's just the obvious, I have THREE exciting things I wanted to share!
#1--We are doing the HALF-WAY dance!! Yesterday was my last AC chemo infusion day! May 7th I will switch to Taxol for the last 4. It's just a great feeling to say 4 down and 4 more to go!!
#2--For those of you not on Facebook, I failed to share some exciting news from my April 9th, Dr. Muss visit. He had been out of town the visit before, so I hadn't seen him in a month and his first question was "Suzanne, have you felt any difference in your right side?" Honestly, I had obsessed over feeling this lump for several months as I decided whether or not it was still there, if it came and went, increased or decreased in size, and when I found out it was CANCER, the need to feel it ended then and there! But something over Easter weekend changed, I had for the first time since February 22, when I heard the words Breast Cancer, checked the lump and I couldn't feel it! Well, talk about making a man stop in his tracks! I am examined each and every appointment, but we normally talk about the previous treatment for a while, then do the exam and then he's always gracious to answer my list of questions, but once he heard that, we skipped right to the exam. Dr. Muss said, "I can't resist, let me take a look!" I wasn't surprised by his reaction because I myself had found the lump and when I couldn't feel it, I knew something was up! Then I heard words that I will hold with me forever, "Suzanne, this is INCREDIBLE! IT IS DRAMATICALLY SMALLER!" Praise the Lord for answered prayers and for my friends and family who are the best Prayer Warriors a girl could ask for!!
#3--It's official...I have signed up to walk in the Relay for Life of Alamance County! Two sweet high school gals at my church started in team in honor of Cancer Survivors at our church and I was touched! This has all happened since February, so unlike some teams that have been fundraising all year, we will do the best we can in the time we have left! But those of you who know me well, know that I do last minute well, hence I just registered last Friday! :-) Everybody has to start somewhere and I consider this our jumping off point...so as I type this, the countdown on the Relay website says, 23 days 20 hours and 50 minutes, so READY, SET, GO!!!
If you are interested, here are the ways you can help and support a cause that is now near and dear to my heart!
