One Year

One year ago yesterday I got my phone call saying my biopsy results came back positive. One year ago today I was sitting in the surgeons office being told I had stage 2 breast cancer, and the whirlwind began.
Today I sat in the surgeons office and was told everything looked good. She did not say I was remission though she told me she considered me cancer free! That was great to here, but I am still a little anxious to here it. I still go for appointments every 3 months and will for a long time. I have a appointment with the plastic surgeon on March 18 to find out if my skin has healed enough from radiation so we can start with reconstruction.
I had lots of anxiety for awhile about doing another mastectomy and reconstruction, but now that it is getting closer I am eager to get the process going and be done with it. I have come a long way in the past year and I feel great, but I still have a ways to go. I do think the worst of it is behind me though. Thank you all for your continued prayers and support over the past year. We would have never made it without them.
