Back to School!!

Hi all,
I've been back to school for a couple of months now and it is so incredibly great to be back at school with kids. I'm so glad to be cancer free. I just had bloodwork yesterday and I haven't heard back yet but I think it's going to be fine. When I have my next set of scans in March I'm going to get a chest MRI along with a PET scan, since there is a concern about the metasteses to the chest wall since we didn't radiate. One of the funnier things was learning that, if it comes back, it will be in the first two years since it was so aggressive.
News like that can really impact your perspective, you know and I'm glad for that. I know life is short and thinking about it like that makes it seem limited definitely but also look at activities in your life with the long view in mind. I still wish that little things that are meaningless didn't drive me crazy at times, but I think I'm getting better at making choices about how best to spend my time and how to take better care of myself, and you know, I think that it's very good.
I am going to participate with a schol team that will be walking in the Relay for Life fundraiser for the American Cancer Society on November 10th and 11th at Palm Desert Highg school. It should be a lot of fun. There were be several kids participating from school so it'll be a good time for them as well.
So very grateful to be back at work and for all of your love and support that helped me to be able to do that!! :-)
