Surviving

Hey there Blogland hope this finds everyone doing fabulous.
Welp some of you may know I am a cancer survior. I was diagnoised with "mixed mullerian sarcoma" uterine cancer in August 2007. The good thing is they accidently found it and I am cancer free :)
Today I went for my "last" ct scan. So I was at the hospital at 8 this morning to drink down contrast mixed with crystal lite. The first 16oz went down good. Then you drink 8 oz every half hour until finally they call you back for your scan (4 8oz servings later LOL) welp by the 2nd 8oz I was like ok this stuff is getting gross tasting but still chuggin away :) Finally at 10 I got called back and had the pleasure of getting a IV so they could give me dye (had a full torso scan)
I get all my work up stuff done at the hospital I work at so it is cool to have "friends" that are doing the procedures and you can gab with them a bit :) Welp my 10:10 I was out of there......
LOL so I got to sit and drink for 2 hours just to have a 10 minute procedure LOL
Now am waiting to go to my oncologist on the 23rd and hear that everything is good and I am still cancer free....... then he will release me to my GYN doctor to follow me from here on out.
Will be a bit sad in a way....... As I have gotten use to seeing onco doctor every 3 to 4 months for the past 20 months.... But on the other hand it will be a blessing cause that will mean I am cancer free :)
I will be walking in the Susan G Komen walk this Saturday here in Central Texas :)
I am really stoked about this........ as for one I am a survior (ok not breast cancer but of cancer) and because I can get some extra exercise in this way too :) As well as support a great cause

Have a great day and Just Keep On Keeping On
