April has already brought a lot of good things my way. Today I had my visit with Dr. Bonomi along with an MRI and blood work. Everything is normal once again. Hooray!
April 7th marked the two-year anniversary since I first learned I was cancer-free. Hip. Hip. Hooray!
With the help of my wonderful coach/partner/husband, I completed the 8k (about 5 miles) Shamrock Shuffle without stopping and with only minor stiffness and soreness afterwards. This race has particular importance to Doug and me because we've done it for so many years, and two years ago we ran together in celebration of the fresh news that my cancer was gone. But last year, it was a real slog to cross the finish line. Since then, I haven't been running this distance much as I feel it more than I used to - both during the run and afterward for a few days. I was really worried about whether I could get through the whole run, but I did. Didn't break any speed records, but was slightly faster than last year. I'll take it. Hazzah!
I recently learned that WEGO, a cancer advocacy organization, has posted another video with me and three other lung cancer survivors entitled "Taking Control of Your Treatment." If you want to see it, here is the link. (It is the second video on the web page.) This is the fifth video WEGO has posted on their website that includes me with other survivors. Yippee!
Finally, my website, www.QuickTipsforManagingCancer.com, has had almost 500 visitors from a variety of countries and over 600 page reads since I first published it in late January - and I haven't started to heavily promote it yet to the cancer community. Whoopi!
