Ladybird33- I feel like my calendar has been full of testing and doctors. 2 weeks ago colonoscopy (all ok) today bone density. In 2 weeks oncologist. Then I hopefully take a break until December when I go to my PC for regular check up. My breast surgeon has me going for sonogram every 6 months and mammo every year. As long as its all good, I don't mind. I now go to my urologist only 1x a year instead of 6 months. In 2014 I had a small piece of my kidney removed (thank God I didn't need treatment of any kind). It is not easy but it is now our new normal. We are all living it together
Hugs to you ladies
