Ah, the hair does grow back!

Hello all,

I have changed my picture as I have grown enough hair back on my head and I might add my eyebrows are back now too! I thought it was time to show my new look, more white, a lot of salt and pepper but dark eyebrows as well. I didn't realize that I had lost hair on my arms as well until this new growth "sprung up" and is wildly growing. The things that excite us when we are showing signs of "normal healthiness".

It has been over two weeks since the last drain was taken out and no signs of "fluid buildup" although they did forewarn me it could be three weeks. I had my last visit with the oncologist (until I return for the six month appt) next year and he said he didn't think that there was any fluid building up in fact he told me that my surgeon "did very well by me". He also said that he thought I had "come through these last few months very well", well that made me feel very good. I thanked him and then said how are you supposed to come out of this? I feel again, very blessed to have my faith in God that He carried me through this and the help and prayers of my family, friends and their friends. We don't go through trials in our lives without faith, for without that what do we have?

I am feeling good these days, still my wild sense of humor, and somewhat busy schedule, my thoughts wander to what is next on the plate, and also my dread as the next thing is moving and that is not as appealing as it may sound, my family and too dear of friends here too hard to say goodbye so as always I will say "you just have another place to visit!" I still need to see the surgeon before I depart the area for clearance to drive, etc so you haven't heard the last of me...

Hugs, Deb
