Promised I'd post after my appointment with Dr. Healey. After a 2 hour and 15 minute wait, we reviewed my x-rays and progress, and he remains very pleased both with his work and my progress. While he believes my left ankle is now more stable than my right, he advised me not to go crazy. What, me? Crazy? No way! My next appointment is in early December following another MRI. I guess he plans to do MRIs every six months for the foreseeable future to check for local recurrence.
I continue with my physical therapy and have been going three times a week (except for last week since we were in Las Vegas). I want to make certain that ankle is in great shape prior to winter. I think my legs are in better shape now than they have ever been. Those who have known me for a while know I'm not an exercise or athletic person, so this routine is unusual for me. Let's see how long it lasts...
Happy autumn a few days early. What happened to summer???

About Me
- Karen
- I am a woman in her late 40s who was enjoying life when cancer came along and threw a monkey wrench in the whole business. This is the story of my fight against Leiomyosarcoma, a rare smooth muscle cancer that started in my left fibula (ankle bone) and has since spread to my pelvic bone, skull, and lungs. It's also the story of a woman trying to continue to enjoy life despite the complications cancer causes.
