Checkup today

 I had my checkup today. All is well. I did do blood work, but there's no reason to think anything will be wrong there.

It's been almost exactly 14 years since I found my lump (April, 2011). If not for having to put the breast form in my bra, I pretty much forget about the cancer. But it's weird how going for a checkup STILL makes me nervous. My blood pressure, which normally has always run a little low, is always elevated at my oncology checkups.He doesn't think it's anything to worry about, but suggested I pick up a cuff and check it at home once in a while when I'm relaxed.

I'm under a lot of stress at home right now, but that's another story.

So the big takeaway is - 14 years, and all is well!
