It's that time again...

Boooooo to the "new normal"

Tomorrow I do an early morning blood draw for TMs and all that other good stuff, then it's upstairs for my 6 month mammogram/breast surgeon appointment with immediate results. Then I wait it out until Friday morning to meet with my Oncologist for my 4 month check-in with blood results and THEN I have movers coming to pick up my stuff and move me into my new place (first time EVER living alone).

Just a tad bit of stress and sadness. After spending the past 2.5 years fighting cancer and trying to get back to my life, my husband decided that he would prefer to not join me in that venture, our divorce was final at the end of February... So this is the first time I will be going to these appointments alone. So depressed.

Keeping my fingers crossed that this is the end of all of my bad juju and that this week brings good news. Prayers and good juju greatly appreciated

<3 Kelly
