February 14, 2009 - Pics of Me and Clayton Taken Today

I wanted to make sure that I have a photo posted every few months, so I can remember what I looked like with short hair.  :-)  It's finally growing a bit, and it looks so dark!  I thought I'd also post one of my handsome hubby!!!    

February 12, 2009 - Doc Visit Today

Dr. VanderMolen ordered my March mammogram.  I'll do MRI scans once a year and mammograms once a year, alternating every 6 months.  He said my blood counts were good and he felt no masses anywhere, so all is good with me.

I'm doing physical therapy for my shoulder issues.  It's been a week.  We'll see how I do after 6 weeks of therapy.

My photography instructor is having us take a photo every day.  I'm posting them on this blog.... www.sandythephotographer.blogspot.com.

We have to pray for my friend and co-worker of 26 years.... Dwight.  He's having surgery on his brain in the morning to see where the bleeding is coming from.  May the Lord be with him and Carolyn now and always.  He's a great guy who doesn't deserve what he's going through.  Please pray for him as I am.

February 2, 2009 - Winding Down The Blog

Thank you to all who have followed my progress through my breast cancer treatments.  It means a lot that you care enough to read my blog and to comment on occasion.

I am doing really well these days.  Recent scans have shown there is no evidence of cancer.  Yay!  It's been 3 1/2 months since the end of my treatments.  I finally feel like I'm getting back to normal.  Clayton and I walked 4 miles yesterday, and it felt great!  My shoulders still have the same issues, but since I don't relate that to the cancer, I'm gonna stop talking about it.   

I am thankful that cancer gave me the butt kick I needed to finally pursue my passion.  I will continue to pursue my photography career via classes, hands-on, and trial and error.  My business should begin to build as I build my skills.  I've registered a domain name, and at some point in the very near future I will actually have a site to look at.  If you're interested in seeing it in the future, check out www.snow-productions.com.

Updates from this point on will be few and far between (i.e., months apart).  Thanks again for all of your support.

Hugs and blessings,

Sandy
