Three Week Follow-Up

I saw my oncologist this past Monday. We talked a lot about the "new normal" or what life will be like after I'm finished with chemo. Waiting, watching and wondering if it's back while trying not to stress out. After one year without a recurrence I'm considered in remission. After five years I'm considered cured. This was just a regular three week follow up appointment, so there is no real new news. My counts look good and I'm tolerating the chemo well. We'll schedule surgery to take the port out a month after I finish chemo. He gave me the thumbs up to train for the Susan G. Komen 5k Race for the Cure, which is in June. My plan is to RUN it, so I better get my rear in gear. While this is a lofty goal, I believe I can do it if I stick to a training schedule. It's only three miles.
