Number 5, I think

Hi friends and family!
Don't know if anyone still checks this website or not, but I thought I should keep the updates coming as anything different happens.

I had another PET scan today; I think it was my fifth one. I read back to my first PET scan experience and I had to shake my head. I had forgotten how horrible that day was. Since that experience, Steve and I've learned that for those 90minutes of waiting, my mind needs to be occupied. He's provided me a way to stay entertained during that time, all the while checking on me. If anyone ever reads these blogs, and then has to have a PET scan themselves, learn from my first mistake. Take something to keep your mind busy. Don't sit there in the dark, by yourself, and comtemplate why your in the nuclear medicine department.

We should get the results from this latest scan Monday afternoon. I'll blog again when I have the results.

Otherwise, I am doing well, and feel really good. Most of my strength is back, as well as my stamina. Did I tell you that we are training for a marthon? Yes, a marathon. Training is hard, but its easier than chemotherapy, or a deployment. Wish us luck. My hair has grown out alot in the last few months. I can almost part it and the hair actually stay put. I've learned to use mousse and gels. Now that it is summer, I've gotten a health tan, which has taken that chemotherapy sick look away. All in all, I say that I've made great progress in the last five months.

I'm doing good, and staying positive. I hope each of you are too! Please stay in touch we me/us when you can.

p.s. Remind the women in your life to do breast exams and/or get their mammograms!
