One year!

I felt it would be appropriate to reflect on the last year of my life - while, and least the stuff that has occured in many ways. today marks one year since I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer - while I enjoy that I am doing fine and feeling great, I know that I still can't ignore the mental struggle I have experienced. I remember sitting in my office and coming from a dept meeting and seeing a missed call from my dr - as soon as i heard his voice, i knew there was an ominous message for me - dr's never call patients back, right - two classes and numerous phone calls I had my answer.

But that is the past. Today, I am very healthy and happy. I love my new job, my new location, and all of the people I know get to interact with. They are a constant inspiration and model for all!

Live from Vegas!

Hello from sunny and HOTTT Las Vegas, the city that never sleeps and neither do I when I am there! I am out visiting with friends and am having a great great time. One of the best perks about my job - the fact that I still get to enjoy Spring Break - and sometimes, a break is exactly what you need.

As for a health update, I just got the results of my last three month ultrasound - I still have swollen lymph nodes, which sucks, but they didnt get any bigger or worse, which is good. I was hoping for better news, but am content with this. As we are coming up on one year since my diagnosis (march 25), it seems right to celebrate the good things that have happened in the last year once again!

love you all,
