First, lots of positive. Thanks to
everyone who’s joined me doing Chalene Johnson’s 30 Day Challenge. I’m on day 15 setting some great goals and
some mind-blowing goals. And best of all…following
through. One goal in particular is a lot
fewer doctor appointments in 2015. I’m
feeling great and love the support and accountability of having others play
along in the Challenge.
Speaking
of doctor appointments; I received the results from my echo-cardiogram. The
test showed my heart is “grossly normal.”
What idiot who cares nothing about the patient psyche comes up with these
terms? But anyway I guess I'll take grossly normal over the alternatives. The bottom line is
further evidence that the chemotherapy did not damage my heart.
On Friday I had my follow-up full body thermography scan (the
first was in June). All my hard work and
restrictive diets have helped. Everything
looked better on this scan except for my liver….so one appointment leads to
another.
Finally,
the Former Boyfriend and I are dreading Pinktober. After everything we’ve gone through we
believe this to be nothing but hype. We’re sick of pink ribbons and
pink-washing of everything. Pink is
slapped on anything for a buck and it’s impossible to find out just how much of that money goes into research, if any. Pink is runaway…and does not represent what
it once did in the fight against breast cancer.
If any of you give to any of the “pink” causes – it’s your money. But
please do not give to pink causes with me in mind.
