Three years on -and it is still good news

Today was my annual mammogram checkup with the surgeon. I get a bit distracted in the run up to this and have a bit of a short fuse - But the surgeon spoke the magic words 'Your mammogram is absolutely clear' as soon as I walked into his office. Great feeling as though several kilos of worry had floated off my shoulders.

In general everything has gone well and the only lingering after effects are a slight degree of lymphodema in my right arm which aches a bit and tiredness as a result of poor sleep - that is down to taking Anastrazole but it has to be worth it for the benefits. I will stop taking it in November 2014.
