Good Mammo

I had my 6-month follow-up mammogram today to keep track of some calcifications seen in April. There were about 6 different positions, all on the left side, and only one really hurt. Next one's next April.

I also had yoga this morning--my third one. We worked our core so it was a hard class, especially on my quads. I can see how yoga can be so beneficial for your health. You just pay attention to your body more.

It seems so amazing that it was a year ago that I was just beginning chemo. Now I'm so glad the hard part is over, and I have more than 2 inches of hair. All my chemo buddies seem to be doing well, too. One though has lymph removal cellulitis, which actually seems more like an infection rather than fat deposits. Now that I think of it, there have been other cases of a depressed immune system (UTI and shingles even) in some of the other women, but fortunately, I haven't had anything like that. I got my flu shot yesterday and so far so good. Remember to do your self-exam, ladies!
