One year cancer-free....

One year ago today I had my surgery to remove the breast cancer. As soon as that breast was gone, as far as I'm concerned, the cancer was also gone. All treatments since then have been prevention of recurrence. I feel healthy. I feel happy. They say that the 'magic' number for being cancer-free is 5. I can't believe I'm 1/5 of the way there already!!

Last Aug 26: mastectomy

This Aug 26: fabulous haircut (special treat by Suzanne - she truly spoils me) & a truly decadent pedicure where my feet haven't felt so smooth in years.... then a delicious & healthy dinner followed up with a good movie (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo).

Yup - I got a haircut. Everyone has been telling me how cute my 'pixie' style hair is so I'm keeping it that way - now it is actually meant to be so short on purpose. Get used to it folks because I love it! I'll post pics when I get home from Calgary.

I am still waiting patiently to hear from the plastic surgeon when my expander replacement surgery will be. I will phone him tomorrow to bug him a little....

Thank you everyone for all your love and support over the last year. It makes bearing the load a lot easier when people to share it with you!
