Wedding Picture

Hi There!
I spent the weekend with my family celebrating my brother's wedding. It was a very festive occasion and I have learned that folks on my side of the family really know how to celebrate!

I was at Dr. Winters last week, and she feels that because my port is unable to draw a blood return that she wants it out right away. This is kind of bittersweet as my trusty little port took me through 16 different types of chemotherapy over the years. I was trying to superstitiously hold on to it until my 5 year remission mark. Oh well, I am still striving for 2.5 years!

Also, my thyroid levels were tested and they think that because of the radiation I had to my mantle field, I am becoming hypo-thyroid. When I asked what the symptoms were, Elizabeth the PA said, "Weight Gain and Hair Loss"! Great news for me!

Have a wonderful week!
Love,
Sherri

Scans

Hello,
I have great news to report! As of 1:00 today, I found out that I have been free from cancer for almost 2.5 years! I had a CT scan very early this morning. Even the scar tissue caused by previous cancerous lymphnodes have shrunk. I am very thankful! Please say a prayer for my friend Kristin who may be still battling her Hodgkin's Disease.

On a personal note I am getting ready for a fantastic fall weekend in Door County with my family. Next weekend is my brother's wedding so there are some exciting times ahead:)
