Weight the same! I'm hungry. Shot day is tomorrow and the reduced dose I took has done wore off! Tomorrow will be the first day with the new compounding pharmacy - Designer Drugs.
Mammogram done today and then I visited my old coworkers just down the hall. By the time I was done visiting, I already had my Mammogram results in the electronic MyChart. All is good in boobland!
Making Mexican food tonight. The fam has their choice of chicken or beef soft shell tacos or tostadas. I prefer the crunch of the tostada! I also made pumpkin bars today. I have not baked much since June either. Unfortunately, tis the season!

Congrats on a clear mammo. So many women seem to get breast cancer these days. Feels like more than 50% of my closest family/friends. An excellent reason to be scanned regularly.

Absolutely! Mine was stage 1, if I had skipped my mammogram, another years growth, it would have been survivable, but the treatment would have been much more difficult. My SIL had a much more aggressive tumor found at her annual screening. Another year, and she wouldn't have survived. As it was she had a double mastectomy , chemo, radiation, and infusions for immunotherapy.
Also colonoscopies. Get them. I've had 5 polyps removed over several procedures. I like my chances much better without them.
