Liver enzymes back to normal

Finally after several months, a weird MRI and a scary liver biopsy my liver enzymes are back to normal values! I am SOOOOOO happy.
My oncologist seemed relieved, said it was probably because of chemo, I will get to see her in 3 months! Of course before then I have a mammogram, a CT scan and a mastectomy scheduled, so it will be a busy month and a half, but after the new years I hope things will start to calm down and I will be getting used to seeing the doctor every 3 months for the next two years.

By the way, I had a health check up last week for my health insurance. Basically if you agree to have this check up they give you a lower rate for insurance premium, and then if you are healthy enough you get another discount. So I did it and just got the results this morning. Based on their scale I got 100 out of 100 points! Last year, I had gotten 89 out of 100. So ironically cancer has made me healthier :)!! Well it is true with the life changes I have made it is not so surprising. It is also quite amazing how fast those life changes do start making a major impact on your health and well being. And would you believe that I am a happier person than I was last year around this time. Yes, I do have some big worries, but day to day I do my best (and I must say I do a pretty good job at it) to enjoy every moment of my everyday! Really what else could one do??

I got permission from my doctor to have a glass of red wine tonight (she said I could even have 2 but I don't need 2, even half a glass was enough and very tasty! :)

Good night everyone, gotta get the girls to bed!

LIFE IS GOOD!
