Well I can't still believe that we are going to have two more grandkids (twins)!!!!!!!! But it is a reality they did see two hearts beating on the ultrasound. Congratulations go to the mother and father to be Heather(daughter number 1)and (her wonderful hubby) Jon. Can't wait to see the ultrasound pictures. Uber and Unter.(the twins as they are being formally called) will be making their appearance sometime in June or July.
Trina's(daughter number 2) mammogram wasn't as kind they found some cysts in her right breast and a mass of breast tissue in the other breast. Hopefully the cluster of cysts that the radiologist saw in Trina's breast isn't anything to be worried about. I think she has to have a biopsy but they didn't schedule that yet. Hopefully she will know more tomorrow. I guess I always thought those things can't happen to anybody that young. I guess that I was kind of thinking about me and the breast cancer in that regard too. It will be a whole year on December 2nd that's when I had the lumpectomy and Dec 13th the mastectomy. I can't believe it will already be a year. I don't really know how you determine how long you have been free of cancer. Do you count from when they removed the tumors or would you count from the last radiation or chemo treatment? I guess I really did not feel cancer free until I had my last radiation treatment. Which was in July of this year. I still am scared that it will come back with each little ache or pain that I have now. I am always thinking has it metastized? Are cysts and tumors happening more now days or is it we just are hearing and reading about it more now? Well I need to get ready for bed, I have a big work day tomorrow.

Lazy Sunday
I really don't feel much like doing any housework but if I don't do it nobody else will unless I tell them to do it. It seems that they don't see the mess ( maybe because I just have guys in the house) no girls. Well I don't know because it seemed I had to tell my girls to clean up when they were younger too. Well maybe we are all lazy (humans in general). I have already done a load of dishes and three loads of clothes but I still have 5 more loads to go of laundry this includes the towels. I should go to the store but I don't really feel like it.
Well enough about the housework.
Well tomorrow is another day , I get the pleasure of going to the dentist for my cleaning for the first time since my cancer treatment ( mastectomy, chemo, radiation) so its been over a year since I have been to the dentist. I really don't like going to the dentist but it does make my teeth feel better when they are clean. I don't think I will let them do a deep cleaning though because I still am afraid that the cancer will spread and the deep cleaning would promote that happening. So no deep cleaning just the regular cleaning.
I love having Mondays off because I get a three day weekend every week which is wonderful but than that makes my work days super busy with 8 patients to see in a day which can be a struggle at times. But it is much better when I am busy rather than slow since I get paid per patient.
Well I suppose I should go to the store since we will need to have something for dinner when the guys get home from work. I haven't really figured out what I need to get at the store. Well I guess I have vented enough

Random thoughts
It is a little surreal knowing that my oldest daughter may be pregnant with twins. I still don't think it has sunken in for me either. I know she still can't believe it is happening. My daughter and her husband will make very good parents. I am so happy for them. Can't wait until June or July!!!!!!!!!!!
My bone scan did not show any problems with the cancer returning but did show degenerative changes in my knees. Oh well I can live with that. It is still pretty scary though because I do think about the cancer possibly returning because it was a good size tumor and it had spread into my lymph nodes. But sense I had the mastectomy and all that chemo and radiation maybe nothing will grow back. But I keep having all these pains in my upper body area mainly the chest area on the right. Well the doctor ( radiation oncologist) said I would probably have pain for a while that was back in September when I saw him I think. I go back to the medical Onocologist in the first part of December.
Now my other Daughter has a lump in her breast that she says has been there for a year and a half but she didn't go see about it because I was going thru breast cancer treatment at the time. Her docter thinks it is probably a cyst . Let's hope that is all it is.
