Home again!

It is good to be home....my own bed will feel wonderful tonight!!  But do miss the grandboys already!  I am just so thankful that all has gone so well so far.  I can't thank all my praying friends enough for their prayers which I know God answers.  I feel that I am a third of the way through the journey and now have the radiation to do and then some hormone therapy which will last 5 years. Hormone therapy is well proven to help prevent the recurrence of breast cancer and actually is what I was on the study for. 
My appointment with the surgeon was very short....he said my incisions looked good and the tumor was less than a centimeter with lymph nodes being negative (which I already knew from the radiation oncologist).  The incisions may look good, but the one under my arm is driving me to distraction!!  Everything seems to rub and it is just really tender.  But I know it is just temporary and will eventually get better!!
The appointment with the mecial oncology people was a little weird....and long.  My appointment was at 2:15 and we got in there about 2:40 but didn't get out of there until almost 5!! :o(  I have to say though, of all the appointments I have had at Mayo, that was the worst wait I have ever had!  I guess I just knew we would do hormone therapy when all was done because of the time I spent on the study and talking to my other doctor.  So, for me it seemed a little redundant but then again maybe some people need all that information.  I will be checking with the Dr. that I did the study with for her final ideas on that one.
So, I am home until Christmas and it is off to work tomorrow.  It will be good to get back into the routine.  Big hugs to you all.....and many praises for the positiveness of this experience.  God is good!
