    Statistically speaking, it is highly unlikely that my BC would re-occur. However, like 25% of females, I still have the chance that I might get totally new BC. I will be getting mammos long past the time other women do.

    Stay with us. We will support you through everything.

    And the other medical issues will pop-up in a continuous train. I found a simple way to use k-tape to restrict movement of the offending joint on my left hand. It works fine, and with the assistance of a ring for guiding the yarn, I am knitting those mittens. I have the right one 3/4 done! Did a questionnaire on my left thumb for the doctor this morning. The right thumb is in relative comfort, except for the metacarpal-phalangeal, next to where the basal joint was.

    Tippy got a haircut day before yesterday. He told me "hair-cut, thank you" yesterday. I relayed the message to his new groomer.

    justforher,

    I live in the USA.

    Husband is present at all my cancer center appointments.

    I ask for and receive all my medical records from the cancer center.

    I had annual appointment at the cancer center 8-19-25. (NED)

    I agree with betrayal……

    Please be kind to yourself and focus on self-care for the moment.
