HAPPY PORT OUT DAY!

My PowerPort was officially removed today! It's strange to look at where it was and not see a lump anymore. Sure, right now it's covered in a cotton ball and tagaderm, but there's nothing thrusting up out of my chest anymore!



I was awake for the entire operation, and it was performed in a basic examination room so I wasn't under a tent in a huge operating room like when it was put in.

THIS DOOR HAS OFFICIALLY CLOSED.

Cancer-free's the way to be!

I was declared tumor-free on December 18th!!

Trevor found out the next morning he had passed his final CPA exam!!

Long story short, we had mimosas for breakfast.

My hair is starting to come back. I have to shave my armits and legs again (not exactly happy about that, but I'm happy that things are getting back to normal). I never lost all of my hair, but it's really thin on top so I wear hats a lot. My hair is long enough in the back, though, that I can wear two itty bitty pigtails! I think it will become my standard hairstyle for awhile, otherwise I just have a mullet. SWEET.

My next scans are in March... I'll try to update before then. :o)
