Kickin' It Pink With Kristyn: September 2014

Race for the Cure is coming up and it'll be the 3^rd year for our team Kickin’ it Pink to participate. I just registered Micah and myself so our team is going strong with 2 participants :) If you plan to do the race and don’t have another team to sign up with please join our team! We don’t really do anything special but we could!

Tomorrow morning I have my 3 month checkup with my Oncologist, Dr Barnhill. I’m not expecting much excitement but I guess you never know. From what I understand, this is an appointment to discuss any new symptoms I have and to figure out what should be done about them. The only way we can tell that something is wrong is if I have a symptom that indicates further testing is needed.

As far as I can tell I don’t have any symptoms needing further testing. I will tell Dr Barnhill that I was having headaches but I think they were from clenching my jaw while I slept. My right wrist hurts but I think that’s from being on my phone too much (kind of embarrassing!) I had an appointment with my OB/GYN a few weeks ago and my test results were negative. I had my checkup with the surgeon who does the biopsies and he had no concerns. I’ve been seeing my surgeon who does my reconstruction surgeries on a regular basis since July 17^th and he doesn’t seem to have concerns besides how I’m healing from my surgeries. So I think I’m ok. I hope I’m ok. I'll let you know how the appointment goes.
