The first day of fall has always been a favorite time of year for me. It reminds me of walks through the woods, going to school, a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils... Well it did. Now it is also my anniversary of when I had my first round of chemo.
This year I had my checkup with Dr. Ojomo. It actually went quite well. Everyone from the receptionist to the nurses, and Dr. O herself, made quite a fuss over how well I looked. They had seen me at my worst so they know, from post chemo to the radiation blues to chickenpox covered. This was a vast improvement.
My mammogram report came back good. The nurse asked me how it went, which I thought was odd. But I was honest and told her that it was very painful. So painful, in fact, that I cried through the entire mammogram. She said that many women have that happen after radiation. Geez! Another thing I wished I'd known before I went in! She said it gets better after a couple of years. Years?!?! I go back in six months for another mammogram and then to see Dr. Ojomo again.
Overall the best part was the fact that Dr. O. was more excited over my new boots than anything. :) She examined me then had to go get another lady while I changed to show her my boots! It was great. That's how you know your checkup went well.
