Hard to believe its been a year...

Just wanted to drop by and let everyone who was sooooo supportive last year that i'm doing really well...
i'm now a year of NED, my last CA125 markers were at 8, and the docs are REALLY happy with how i'm doing. Pretty good for someone who in Jan 2024 was offered comfort care lol...
i've gained a bunch of weight back, my hair has grown back with the curls i've always had when its short, and i have finally been out to my first reenactment since my best friend and "camp husband" passed last Oct. Yea i've got a few more wrinkles, but i've been hiking up and down the sides of mtns, foraging, running a chainsaw in contributing to winter wood, working on the offgrid cabin etc...in essence back to almost pre cancer strength.
i'm eating relatively cleanly, not a lot of fast food. I have mushrooms pretty much every day, quite a bit of red meat and farm eggs, but i'm also still enjoying my sodas with real sugar and candy 🙂 ... I take an essiac supplement, B-17 and a cranberry supplement every day, turmeric a couple times a week, and a mushroom supplement 3-4 days a week. NO artificial sweeteners at all in my diet and with my inability to process high fructose corn syrup i'm still reading labels...
Like I said the docs are really happy and have me scheduled to have my port removed in November when i go back for the one year followup on the reconstructive surgery for my nose where it had to be redone after THAT cancer was removed... And they really believe my positive and refusing to give in attitude has been crucial to my healing . .
Saw the dermatologist last week and she said the nose was in the top 2% of reconstructive jobs she'd ever seen in her 25+ years...
So folks, don't give up hope, yea it sucked last year what i went through...for the new folks, go back back and read my posts from last year to understand where i've been and coming from... i'm not just a cancer survivor, i'm a cancer thriver...i WILL continue to thrive...
