Surgery & Update

Time is flying and standing still all at the same time. I've been living from treatment to treatment and suddenly I'M DONE! I had my last Herceptin treatment on April 11th. This means I've been in "active treatment" for a year and six months. THE. LONGEST. AND FASTEST. Year and a half of my life. It's as if a tornado came through and stuck around for a really long time.
I got to ring the bell after my last Herceptin treatment. That was an extremely emotional moment. Then again, this whole process has been more than I ever anticipated.

I am scheduled for a 2nd reconstruction surgery tomorrow. My 4th surgery in a year and a half.  I won't have the surgery start time until this evening, but I'm hoping it's in the morning. I don't want to come this far, to end up starving to death. 😅 It's supposed to be 3 hours long. I'll have a 6 week recovery period where I once again get to wear a compression garment from my knees to my chest and an annoying 5 pound lifting restriction.  On the 7th, I have scans and a visit with my oncologist. I'm hoping that at that point, he will have me DEPORTED 😆.  Or maybe just schedule my surgery to remove my port?
Things are moving along and I'm praying nothing slows this forward momentum.


Here's an update on this crazy new hair. The back is SO very curly... I'm just counting down to when I can put it in a ponytail.

Thank you for your continued love through this detour!!
