I made some serious inroads into cleaning up my desk area at home, but was interrupted by a phone call mid-afternoon. Apparently the biopsy found that I have breast cancer. Hopefully it's not far advanced and treatments will shrink or eliminate it, but, it's still a bit scary. I go back to the clinic on Tuesday morning to meet with my care representative who will explain all of this to me. In the meanwhile, I'm off to the Coon Rapids clinic for my semi-annual bone density injection (yes, that's really the name of a Minneapolis suburb). My life is being overtaken by health issues, and I'm none too happy about that.

So the tumor they thought they saw on my right breast at the 10:00 o'clock position turned out to be the real deal. SIGH |
But, I got my 45 minutes on the treadmill this morning, my friend "Chickie Mama" (Claire) will come with me on Tuesday to help listen to the care representative regarding my treatment options for my cancer, and DH isn't being horribly obnoxious - give him time, it'll happen eventually - LOL.

I am totally loving my treadmill. As long as I can remain active, I'm happy. Hopefully the treatments won't cut into my swimming time. Chlorine sometimes is avoided during some treatments. |
All in all, things could certainly be worse. It could be 20 years ago. Things would have been MUCH worse then. Medicine has taken some serious leaps and bounds during my lifetime. We're all the beneficiaries of that.
I wanted to share a photo with all of you, but I'm very tight on time, so I'll have to push that one off until tomorrow. Have a great Friday, be kind and generous with your presence, and I'll be back on Saturday. Slava Ukraini.
