Carolin's New Hobby

The lovely summer of 2004 came to an abrupt end when Carolin was diagnosed with cancer. What follows are the random thoughts and experiences of the Camerons as Carolin fights back.

Estrogen Positive

The verdict is in. The specialist agreed with the first guy. I'm still borderline but on the positive side. That means the operation this Wednesday is a go. Followed by the fancy estrogen-prevention pills for 5 years. At least it's a plan. If the report had said that my tumor was NOT estrogen-positive then the treatments would all be finished. I'm glad I have the chance to kick at this cancer a few more times yet.

I'm going out and about without a bandana or wig now!!! It's grown past the stage where I look like I just parked my motorcycle around the corner. Still, ponytails are a ways off.

The radiation burn on my chest peeled. Now instead of angry red, the skin is more pink and not as sore. That's progress.

I'll write after the operation.
