Clean Bill of Health

I had my check-up with the gynecological oncologist and he gave me a "clean bill of health". He said that everything looked good and that radiation WAS NOT necessary. What a lift off my shoulders! This was the best news (healthwise) that I have had in a long time.

He stressed that I needed to lose weight (gained 25 lbs) and that he would see me again in 4 months. He said that I could continue wearing the Estrogen patch because my cancer was not estrogen receptive. I was very grateful for that bit of news, because at least the patch has controlled the hot flashes and night sweats.

After calling my family on the cell phone, I drove directly to Bally's from the doctors office to sign up with a personal trainer. Even though the costs were somewhat expensive, I needed some guidance to get this weight off and knew I couldn't do it myself.

I will start on Thursday, August 11th and then work with her every Tuesday and Thursday after that for 24 sessions. I'm very motivated in getting some of my strength back and this weight off! I had enough trouble lugging around balling balls in a bowling bag...I certainly don't need an extra 25 lbs to lug around all day. No wonder I'm tired!

Thanks to all my family and friends for your prayers and prayer lists. It is truly remarkable how powerful prayer can be.

Love to all!
