Tomorrow's PET day

I have recovered really well from my surgery. The menopausal symptoms suck, but they are managable I guess. I have been incredibly fatigued lately. I am hoping it is because of the lack of hormones. Anyway, tomorrow is the big day. I have my PET CT in the morning. I should have my results when I meet with my oncologist on Tuesday. I am nervous and a little scared. I truly feel like everything will be ok, but I am also realistic. Positive energy is appreciated, so please send it!

On a lighter note, my 3 day team (Hags and Heroes), is trying to figure out what to have on our shirts. We have a couple of ideas, one is "eleven nipples" on the front, or "one areola short of a twelve pack". For those of you that don't know, I don't have an areola or nipple on my new breast (not yet anyway!). So, there are 6 walkers (now maybe 5), so we thought the eleven nipples would be hilarious! I think so anyway! Let me know what you think! Amy thinks we should incorporate both phrases into "one nipple short of a twelve pack". I like it! Anyway, we have been training as much as we can and I think we are all enjoying the company. I am actually using my teammates as my shrinks! It is great therapy to take long walks with wonderful friends.

I am supposed to go back to work the first of October. I must be honest and say that I don't really want to. I also don't know how I am going to pull it off. Like I said before, I am incredibly fatigued most of the time. I can barely make it through the day without wishing I could take a long nap. I guess I will just go back slowly and see what happens. If nothing else, I am going back to the gals who have given me a ton of support and love me for who I am. I guess it can't be that bad.
