Journal entry by Ann Zastrow —
Two years ago yesterday, I tentatively "rang the bell" after my 25th, and last, session of radiation.
I have "graduated," and seen both the radiation oncologist and cancer surgeon for the last time. I will see the plastic surgeon every 5 years, and the medical oncologist every 6 months.
As far as I know, I remain cancer-free. I continue to find cancer mentors. Two of these amazing women have had cancer re-appear, which is always something that is possible. I try not to think about it. If that happens to me, I will deal with it, but my plan right now is to continue to live life to the fullest.
