Game On!

2! 4! 6! 8! Who do we appreciate? My oncologist! He had great news for me today after looking over my PET scan and blood work. It appears that the cancer birds have not been making any nests in my system according to the scan, plus all my blood work came back normal, PLUS I got the green light for surgery next week. It is ridiculous to think that I was practically cheering about the fact that I have double mastectomy coming up next week (Tuesday), but I was. Facing this challenge and seeing some close friends go through it as well paints life in a brand new perspective. You definitely start thinking about what is the most important, what you can live without, what you can't...

I couldn't do without all my friends and family and coworkers who have shown me so much support these past few weeks. Today was my first day back to work, and even though we are reeling from having three department members dealing with cancer right now, being together made me feel stronger in the face of this adversity. I never feel alone even when I am waiting in a doctor's office by myself or being scanned through a machine because I know I've got a team of people backing me up.
I'm ready for the next step: game on!
