Colonoscopy and Survivor nurse
Had a colonoscopy. All clear. When they put the pressure cuff on my arm I said, that's my lumpectomy arm. The nurse identified herself as a 5-year survivor too. We gabbed about our chemo, aromatase inhibitors, etc. etc. Boy did that lower my anxiety about the procedure. The last thing I remember was telling her I started treatment in the month of December...then I went out. We survivors are everywhere.
