Survivorship Questions & Case Update

I see Dr. H tomorrow.  This survivorship thing can be tricky at times, especially when I hope to have a long life to live.  My big talk with her will be Tamoxifen and long term surveillance.  Regardless, she gave me her blessing to wait until I was done with my birthing years so maybe we'll find out even more about long term use of Tamoxifen, especially for younger women.  I still see her every six months.  I hope she doesn't extend me to a yearly office visit.  Can you say umbilical cord?

I realized I never posted a photo of the boys and my niece from Christmas.  This was my first Christmas in Austin, TX and it was Austin winter weather until the cold front came through.  This holiday was different in so many ways.  A little bit of family drama that only made people closer, thankfully.  I didn't get to see the boys as much as I usually would since they did not stay with me.  Regardless, I value each moment I see them!  Hana is also getting bigger and celebrated her first Christmas.  December 2012

This was me in Hot Springs in early March.  As you can tell Hot Springs was not so hot!  It was freezing!  The hot springs are supposed to have healing agents.  I'm uncertain how much of it was true but I did go for a bath and it felt amazing.  Of course it could also have felt amazing because the high was in the 40's and lows in the 20's!

April 15th 10 am will be oral arguments before the Supreme Court!  I won't be there it is open to the public for those that live in the DC area.  Remember:  fingers, toes and DNA crossed that they rule in favor of us because gene patents hinder research!  People could possibly make more educated decisions regarding their health/lives!  Testing would be more affordable.  I can't think about this too much.  I get so nervous.
