Welcome

I'm a 46 year old stay at home mom who is married to the man of her dreams. We have 2 children, My Young Lady age 16 and My Little Man aged 9 along with 2 dogs. In February of 2012, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I had a mastectomy of the right breast on March 14th. Praise God we found it early! I did not have to do chemo or radiation. I'm taking Tamoxifen for 5 years. My surgeon and oncologist are a wonderful team of doctors that are keeping a very close eye on me. I can now say I'm a 2 year breast cancer survivor. By the Grace of God I'm doing well.

2 Week Check-up - Praise the Lord!

Originally posted March 27, 2012.

Today was my 2 week check-up with the surgeon who did my mastectomy. They took out the last drain and the staples. I can finally shower! lol 2 weeks without a shower! Whew! I hope we have enough hot water! Dr. Ranson gave me the all clear! Praise the Lord! He's making me an appointment with an oncologist, but he thinks I'll just need to take a pill called Tamoxifen for 5 years. The way I look at it I'm cancer free baby! Thank you Jesus! Dr. Ranson told me I don't have to worry about it the surgery is over. I asked if there were any restrictions for me and he said no. He told me I can do what I want to do. I am still a little sore and all from the surgery so it is going to take a little longer for me to get back to my old self but it won't be much longer. I go back to see Dr. Ranson in 3 weeks. They will call tomorrow with an appointment with an oncologist.
