Thankful, Grateful and Blessed

I am settled into Chemo. They took my bloodwork from my port instead of having to get a blood draw, and I am giving this place a chance, so today is already better than the last time I had Chemo. Thought this photo was appropriate this week for Thanksgiving and for how I am feeling. Just very thankful. Especially for life and for where I am at on this journey. I am feeling so good that sometimes I even wonder if I have cancer. Well, I am NED, so I guess I don’t have cancer right now, and I hope it stays this way for a very long time. Next time I have Chemo, I will talk with my doctor, and we’ll set up my next scans. I am anxious for these scans since we cut my Chemo back to every other week. If this treatment is still working, I will be hopeful that it might continue working for a while! I have been reading about studies and trials of vaccines and new treatments for triple negative breast cancer. There is so much new research and so many new treatments coming out so often that it gives me hope and more time to shoot for. I know a positive attitude is important in maintaining my NED status, and the studies and journals are keeping me positive and hopeful. So, not much to write about today as I wait for my premeds to arrive. I am just busy and happy living and doing some things I enjoy. I am feeling very peaceful about things, which is a great feeling for me. I will write again in two weeks when I talk with my doctor and set up my scans and have Chemo again. I hope everyone has a nice Thanksgiving! I know I am looking forward to a quiet Thanksgiving with my family, doing some meal prep while drinking wine with my husband, and giving thanks for all my blessings and for my life and for my health. Scanxiety can wait for two weeks!! Happy Thanksgiving, and stay safe and healthy!
