Cancer can happen, to any of us!

[Alicia Leonard]

Don't sweat the thyroid nodules too much. I have four and had to have two other tumors removed(adrenal gland and ovary) in the last three months, but I haven't worried too much about the thyroid. They are usually benign and very common. I can only imagine how done you are with doctors as you have been through a lot more than me and I have canceled follow-ups with my surgeon, just cause I needed a break from being sick. Hang in there Diane. You've got your cancer on the run. Don't give up now! Hugs, love and prayers for a rapid recovery to you!

Hi Alicia, 

Sorry I haven't responded, to your encouraging message! You're so right, it's been a long road and I'm more than "done", with it! 

The lesions and nodules are too deep to biopsy, but, I'm getting a 4 mo ck on them next Fri, with another ultrasound! I'm also getting the periodic bone scan to make sure it hasn't spread and Mugga to ck my heart function, that chemo can affect!

I really miss, the area! I've been in Mobile, AL for last 1.5 yrs going through this breast cancer treatment and had my last one, 2 days ago! I'll continue to live here thru the summer, since I have 2 more surgeries ahead. 

My grandson is over there, I've visited once and will again soon! My last hurrah, before surgery! An angel is allowing me to use their beach house off of 30a, if they aren't! I'm so thankful for the enjoyment, it's been a really tough time! 

My hair's finally coming back and black at that!lol I knew that it could be different, but, it's never been dark! Naturally, anyway!lol I have a little "distinguished" grey, on the sides! I figure after my reconstruction with tummy tuck, more hair, less weight/bloat, I'll look 30 again!

Btw, I have a thread in vacation rentals for some friends, if anyone can help, or has suggestions! 

Thanks and I'll keep ya, posted,
Diane
