Theresa M's Cancer Blog

May 13, 2010

This is a little late. Just wanted to wish all you mother’s a Happy Mother’s Day. My mom passed away 11 years ago just before my husband and I got married. As it worked out, we were married on Mother’s Day 1999 and I’m sure my Mom was with us in spirit.

My daughter drove over to spend time with us and we got to go to a tea and fashion show coordinated by a woman who finished treatment for breast cancer 6 months ago. This means she started planning the event right out of tx. It was so much fun and really special since it was the day before Mother’s Day. It benefited a local cancer care organization that provides equipment, transportation, funds, medicine, etc. to folks who need some extra help going through treatment.

Hugs to all you Moms,
Theresa




Theresa—
You both look great! Glad you got to spend time with your daughter at such a worthwile event.

Teresa,
what a beautiful picture. so nice that you had time with your daughter on this special day. I was in Prague with my daughter and she treated us to a great dinner, finding one of the few vegetarian restaurants in Prauge. It was a special day. you look so beautiful and healthy in this photo and I’m glad you are feeling so well. blessings, Nova

Thanks for the comments Theresa. I can only imagine what shape you must have been in if you needed 3 weeks off!
I am feeling a bit better and am sure I did the right thing.
Take care always,
Deej



On Tuesday this week my port was removed.

I feel lighter . . . free of one of the last reminders that I was ill.

We celebrated with a dinner out and a movie. It’s been so long since we had a date night. I really feel like I’m back.

Of course, I still get reminders when I eat something that doesn’t agree and there are still times when I can’t sit for too long, but it’s so much better.

I have an appointment again with the surgeon at the end of the month and with the rad oncologist. I’ll find out if they plan on doing another PET scan. All they mention is a follow up visit every few months.

Wishing you all good days,
Theresa



Congratulations! Doing the happy dance for you….:) I still have my port and the earliest I will get it out will be August. It will be over a year since treatments ended…..

Hi Theresa!

Congrats on getting rid of that port! That is a happy day that I remember well. All that remains is a scar that I wear proudly! It sounds like you are doing very well. About the food thing—yes, sometimes certain things will sneak up on you, even the ones you think are okay! I have just learned to deal with it and you will too. For the most part, I am not missing any of the foods I really enjoy. I’m so glad you are feeling well and enjoying life again. Just keep moving forward and you’ll be fine!

Hugs—
Martha

Congratulations! Glad you are feeling well and can enjoy a nice night out :)

Ahhh Theresa,

I know well the feeling of having that port removed, that last reminder of the hard, hard journey you have taken.

I’m smiling from ear to ear for you.

Congratulations on fighting the good fight.

You did it, Warrior.

Great news! There is hope and life at the end of the tunnel. Since I am still in the tunnel, it is great to read stories of happy news and moving on with life. Enjoy your new found freedom! Cherie

Light at the end of the tunnel, isn’t it wonderful! Of course a sign at the end of the tunnel that says “the tunnel is officially ended” (a/k/a a PT scan) would be the icing on the cake!
Congratulations

CONGRATULATIONS! I can not WAIT to get my port removed. You sound so happy and ready to get on with your life. YAAAAYYYYYYYYY!

LindaE.

Yeah! I am SO happy for you! It was a tough battle but it is OVER!
I had my port removed last week and now I feel the freedom of being cancer-free.
Enjoy yourself
