LOOK OUT, JEFF GORDON!

Woo Hoo!!!!  NASCAR here I come!


Many of you know that both my mother and my grandmother were diagnosed with breast cancer at age 60. For years I’ve said that when I make it to 61 without breast cancer, I’m going to reward myself by doing one of these “Drive a NASCAR Car” experiences.

Well, I just got the news that I made it! But it wasn’t without a few tense moments. In a nutshell…..at my annual physical last week my doctor felt what she thought was a cyst on my left side. The yearly mammogram was already scheduled for this morning.

The first group of “pictures” showed nothing on the left but found a “spot” on the right. They did another set of xrays on the right side which showed nothing (apparently a “tissue fold”?), followed by an ultrasound on the left. After 2-1/2 hours, about 2 of which were spent waiting in my lovely blue gown and reading ancient magazines, I was told that nothing showed up and all is fine! Hooray!

Lou had given me the NASCAR Experience as a birthday gift before he knew my criteria for going ahead with it. He graciously said whenever I was ready the trip was “on the books”.  I’m officially ready and we are looking to schedule it for August at the California Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California. Zoom! Zoom!
