2012 Update

It's already March and I've been delinquent on my blog. I'm 37 days away from my cruise. My cabin mate is a 31 year old stage IV and active in the cancer world. I'm excited to get to know her. When I get back an old friend from ABQ is coming in for the Food and Wine Festival. Let the glutinous feasting continue!

Another big announcement, drum rolls please, 14 days until I get my braces off. Braces off before my cruise is going to be fabulous! I'm so excited! To celebrate their removal, I'm getting true bangs. My coworker suggested Zooey Dechanel bangs. If I get tired of them in my eyes I can can sweep them to the side.

I see Dr. H again in 12 days making it my first 6 month follow up...the longest since I've seen her. She's not going to like how I'm going to ask her for at least 2 years with no hormone inhibitor meds. I'm really thinking of asking her for 5 years making me meds free until 40. I've really been focused on diet on a way to control estrogen and I recently got back from a CAM conference that makes me really want to try it my way. I've done everything I was told to do conventionally so it's not as if I'm becoming an extremist. Of course I will be open minded and listen to her pour over the stats. I just would like to feel like a somewhat normal 35 year old again. More details after my visit with Dr. H.
