The month of May 2012 was a tumultuous one for me. I went to Wenatchee for my annual Bloomsday trip with friends. I got sick with a really bad cold, had a blast on Cinco de Mayo, did the 12k on May 6th, came home, colonoscopy (my first one) on May 9th, found out I had cancer on May 16th. The rest is history (and documented in this blog that I started soon after finding out).
Fast forward to May 2013.............. Went out to Wenatchee for my annual Bloomsday trip with friends. It kind of felt like Deja Vu, but then again, maybe not.
This year, I didn't get sick, Cinco de Mayo was Bloomsday day, warmest-sunniest Bloomsday in history, we finished with a better time than last year, colonoscopy on May 8th, looked good this time, still waiting on biopsies.... but, I know that this year, I won't be finding out I have cancer. I beat that already.
I have a PET/CT on Monday, 5/13. Meet with the Radiologist & Surgeon both on 5/23. Meet with Oncologist on 6/26. Wish me luck..... by now if you know me, you know I'm already pretty damn lucky!
Just for kicks, compare my profile picture on this blog which was taken on Doomsday Hill in Spokane, mile 5.5, on May 6, 2012. I am so joyous and unsuspecting, raising my arms up in the air in Victory, little did I know that the vulture is behind me waiting........ lurking...... cancer.
I had some trepidation going up that hill this year when my friend asked me if I wanted a photo by the vulture. I said "no way!" I don't want a photo in front of that thing so she proposed a new idea. Check it out.
The photo below was taken on Doomsday Hill this year, May 5, 2013. This time, I know the vulture is there, I've passed him by and I'm kicking him right in the ASS! Wanna join me?
So glad to hear that the trip up your colon was uneventful! ;) You're awesome. <3 ya
