Cancer Free

So I've been through a bilateral mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy -- not to mention all the side effects from these.  I will be taking a drug for the next 5 years to keep my body from producing estrogen.  I'll be dealing with the side effects of lymphedema for the rest of my life. 

The other day I asked my doctor if I am cancer free (right now), and he said yes. 

Why am I not jumping up and down for joy?

Well, for one thing, I'm still having problems with my voice and am feeling, well, icky.  But I think the main thing is that I'm just tired.  Am I still haven't gotten the breast implants yet.....

But, I'm cancer free, and that's a marvelous thing. 

Thank you, God!
