I got my results from my CT that was done yesterday. My nurse said that my doctor saw some colitis (inflamed bowels) so he wants me to see a Gastrointestinal doctor. They are thinking that it is due to all of the radiation that I had. This isn't the first time my Oncologist has mentioned me going to a GI doctor. He has said before that it would probably be needed. So, Monday I go for a consult. Hopefully, everything will be fine and I will not require further testing. I go back to see my Oncologist on Feb. 13 for my year follow-up. Here's hoping everything stays on the "up and up."

I hope everyone is doing well. Have a great weekend!

I have my follow-up CT scan tomorrow. I love irony. On the contrast that they gave me to drink, it says "begin drinking two hours before test...please do not eat or drink anything six hours prior to test." I'm hoping that the results will be good and that I don't have to undergo any further treatment. I'm still recovering from last spring's treatment. Of course, if further treatment is needed, I will do it with my head high so to hopefully kick this cancer in it's ass! Everyone is doing great. For those who do not know, my niece Julia had her baby December 13th. CJ was a big boy weighing in at 9lbs 4oz and was 22in long. Mom and baby are doing well. Ron's staying busy at work and of course being my personal chauffeur LOL. Every once in a while, he will bring up getting me a car, but I keep telling him it's not worth it for the little amount that I would drive. I hope everyone is well and happy. I will keep you up to date.

New Years'

Ron and I have decided that this year will be MUCH better than 2011. He sang The Dance to me at midnight and made me cry. I don't go back to the doctor until February; SO, let's hope for some smooth sailing and good results from here on out.

Thank you all of your love and support this past year with EVERYTHING. I don't think I could have made it with out you.

Here's to you and yours, hoping and wishing that this year will be one of the best for us all.
