While I was there I popped in to see Dr. West to ask about some breast sagging and shape changes. He said it's normal as I gain and lose weight. From here on out the surgeries would be elected, and I decided it's not bad enough at this point for me to get more surgery.
Then in June I saw Dr. Washington, my radiation oncologist, for an annual visit. After a breast exam she determined that I was going to be released from her care and now solely under the care of Dr. Link. As much as I feel like this is a milestone, it seems a little scary. I guess I like all of the extra doctors looking at me and taking care of me. I need to take her release as the reassurance that I need that everything is going to be okay and that life is finally moving on.
My former neighbor passed away this week from heart failure. She was in her late 30's and has small children close to the same ages as mine. It just goes to show that life can end unexpectedly at any time, so we need to remember to stop stressing over the little trivial things and live life thankfully.
