When Your Doctor Calls You At Home On A Sunday!

It makes you a tad bit nervous.

My oncologist called this afternoon......I did manage to get, "Hello" out but then immediatly said...."What, what's wrong"! I mean come on it is Sunday for one thing...can't be good news can it? Did the bloodwork show some additional problems? Did they find something else on the chest X-ray?

Why no, absolutly not. Very good news in deed. My type of cancer is hormone fed. The treatments that they gave was intended to throw me into menopause in order to stop those crazy hormones that cause cancer in my case. That wonderful man called to tell me that I am oficially in full menopause (it just took a little longer than was hoped) which is very very good in regards to being less likely to have the cancer return.

That is not to say that I need to stop watching etc...but it is one more hurdle that we have scaled.
