Later Gator


Hi everyone. It’s been 7 months exactly since I posted my One Year “Cancer Free” post and I wanted to do a final wrap up post. I’m planning to have my blog printed into a book so my kids can each have one when they are older.  


Vinnie Myers
On September 10, 2015 I went to see Vinnie Myers in Finksburg MD to get my fancy 3-D nipple tattoos.  Vinnie was as awesome as I imagined he would be and his work is just amazing! I couldn’t be happier with how perfectly they turned out.  I highly recommend this route to finish up the reconstruction process.

Getting my Vinnies
 
 
February was my one year on Tamoxifen anniversary. The side effects really suck but unfortunately it’s something I’ll have to deal with for the next 9 years of my life. If it helps even just a little insure that my cancer does not return, I will attempt to deal with the crazy that it brings me.

I went to the YSC 2016 Summit in Atlanta last week with my breasties and we had a fantastic time.  I cannot  adequately put into words how amazing that weekend was so I’ll put a link to my breastie Marjorie’s blog here for you to read, she described it perfectly. http://marjiepinkandpearls.blogspot.com/2016/03/normal-girls-doing-normal-girl-things.html?spref=fb

Thank you to everyone for supporting me during this extremely scary time in my life. It’s not over, I’m still going to doctor’s appointments for yearly checkups and since I’m on Tamoxifen (for the next 9 years), I go every few months to my local Oncologist. The fear of reoccurrence is very real in my life and I pray that I stay cancer free. Thank you to my super understanding and loving husband, my amazingly supportive parents, my superstar sister-n-law and siblings, dear supportive caring friends and my breast friends Abby and Nikki. I could not have done it without you all.
