The first five years after diagnosis is statistically where they see the highest cancer return rates.  Survivors have a bitter sweet sensation around their annual check ups, and I can now say I’ve had one down, four to go. 

For me, I see a doctor every six months.  Alternating between my breast surgeons and my oncologist.  So this 6 month was with the oncologist…and the once a year massive blood work up.  Literally three pages of counts, percentages and ratings…and I smile as I type, my report was 100% perfect.  Nothing out of range at all. Now that’s a  wonderful feeling! 

(Also need to add that our two little girls also had the all clear with their first round of x-rays at the dentist…Bravo girls!…and I really didn’t need more to hit my plate…thank you dental gods!)
