3 years on

This week marked the third anniversary of my diagnosis.
Other than being altogether too fat, having bone pain from the arimidex, dealing with thin hair, having little energy and occasional chest pain with swelling, I am good. No. I am not complaining.

My plan:
I have decided to not be fat anymore. I am going to live like a thin, fit person and that will make me one.
The arimidex makes my arms, from shoulder to fingers, ACHE. I don't know what else to do except stretch, continue to get massages and take ibuprofen.
Because the arimidex causes thin hair, I have gone to my natural hair color, grey, and very short. It looks thick and healthy. There are no "roots" to highlight the thinness!
I have more energy than I had last year at this time, so I can only imagine it will get better. Especially since I am not going to be fat anymore!
Chest pain. It's not too bad and if I did more self massage, it would be better...

My friend, Miriam just had her last chemotherapy !
