My good news

I went to see my oncologist today(for those of you that don't know, I'm a cancer survivor) and he told me that everything looked good from my surgery and treatments last year, and he's seeing NO TRACE of a recurrance of the cancer!!! I am so excited about it. I have been dreading this appointment for fear that they would find more. He told me that since it has almost been a year since my treatment and everything looks normal, he is changing my appointments from every 3 months to every 6 months!!! Yay!! I finally feel like I can relax a little bit. He also told me that he wants me to lose at least 10% of my body weight by the next time he sees me or he's going to crack my head! I said 'no problem'! I was depressed after I found out about the cancer, and I automatically thought it was a death sentence(both of my parents died from cancer at an early age)so I figured if I was going to die, I may as well eat what I wanted. Depression hit me hard. I didn't even have mom to cry to, and that was really hard for me. I feel so happy about this. This is excellent news for me, as now I feel like my life will go on! I'm gonna lose this weight and treat every day like an adventure!!
