And that is that

So this is long over due but yes I am done with radiation. I finished last Monday, YAY! I will be taking Tomoxifen (a pill) for the next five years. I have a few more follow up appointment at the end of the month and will not have to be back for another six months. And will continue to go every six months for the next five years.

All my scans have been clear but my Doctors haven't used the word "remission" yet. But that is okay. Right now, I am cancer free and done with the hard part of this treatment. I think I can handle taking a simple pill every day.

It's been a very hard year and I got through it. Honestly, I didn't think I would have made it but here I am. With everything done and said, I can still find something to be thankful about. This experience has brought me closer to my family and friends. I don't think I can ever express enough how thankful I am for the support you have given me over the last eight months. The support is what helped give me strength to get through this. I wouldn't have been this strong or brave without all of you. Thank you for the cards, prayers, emails, calls, dinners, hugs, tears, visits...thank you for being part of my life.
