| (hair growth 6 months after last chemo) |
Yesterday marked 1 year since my breast cancer diagnosis.
I could drone on and on about the ups and downs of the past year, but I won't. Instead I will count today as my new year's day, reflect on the blessings of 2016, and look forward to a wonderful 2017. I will continue to limit time spent on social media like Facebook, and do my best to spend more face time with friends and loved ones. I will try to buy less, and give more. I will challenge myself with a few new personal projects, and support my family in their individual goals. I am truly looking forward to this year and what it has in store for me. I am feeling great and getting stronger and stronger everyday. AND LOOK!!! I have hair on my head! I'm not sure what to do with it... I'm just so thankful to have hair.
Tamoxifen...
The saga continues. I still have achy legs from time to time, especially first thing in the morning and after sitting for a long period of time, like in the car. I'm getting used to this, which stinks, I know. I've also learned that too much alcohol or caffeine triggers hot flashes. Boo! So if I drink, which is rare now, I only have 1-1 1/2 glasses of wine; or 1 cup of coffee. Jim and I shouldn't have that second cup of coffee!
