Welcome Family and Friends to "What's the latest with Sara! " blog !

Since I have been diagnosed with breast cancer, I have been told numerous times that I am on a journey. I have known for almost that long that I am not alone on the journey. I learned quite awhile back that what happens to one also impacts all of those in that person's life in varying degrees.
The purpose of this blog is to allow you to check in whenever you have the time to see what the latest is. I know that I need you-your love, prayers, testimonies, and support. I am richly blessed with loving, caring, amazing family and friends. I am so grateful for you. Thank you for your part on this journey.

Wow! I didn't realize that it had been so long since I last posted on this blog.  How time has flown!

As I reread my last post, I was to go for a check up.  There wasn't really anything much new.  I was doing fine.  My next check up will be the end of April.  I will have a mammogram before I go.  I believe he said I will have 3 per year of the breast where the tumor was.  This will be for both as it was a year ago.  I also received a call from the office of the doctor who did the colonoscopy wanting to set up the year check on that.  Yeah! (sarcastic) There was a place he wants to check.  The biopsy was fine a year ago, but he wanted to check it.  April looks like a month to see doctors.  It has been nice to not see them for awhile.

Last Saturday, I decided I was done with my wig.  Since then I am going with the real Sara hairdo.  My hair is getting longer (maybe a couple of inches in places), but still very short.  It is dark with gray in it.  Some places seem to be curly.  Time and more length will tell.  Benjamin made some hair wax for me to help it stay in place.  I love not wearing anything on my head.  I have never liked wearing them.  I still wear a knit hat if it is cold.

I am getting stronger.  With that it is often harder to be as careful is wise if I want to feel good.  I rest some every day, but sometimes not enough and I pay for it when I don't.  I know I have been pushing it too hard last week, so I notice my vision isn't as good and I don't feel well.  I have done better at resting today.  I have taken 3 short naps.  Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow and this week.  I am so grateful for the improvement in how I feel and that I can do so much more.

I am really not good with selfies, but I decided I would try one to show my hair.
