How do you spell relief? R-E-M-I-S-S-I-O-N. hallelujah! The cancer has left the building :). I have a copy of the PET scan report, and I'm considering framing it. "No metabolic activity", it says, in all the areas that previously were lit up on the scan. I cried when I founded out. I hugged my dr. She said it was the best response that they could've seen to the chemo, it was great news :). I listen to my drs, people, of course I'm going to respond well :). Oh.

Ryan celebrated with his good buds by going surfing on the lake. He said the waves were perfect. I celebrated with my 2 best friends from college, Clarice and Jenny, who came in from far away lands. My second mother and sister from another mister, Kathy and Colleen, came in as well. It was a great day, spent with some important people! My Mom and Dad were so happy. Called my brothers. Texts were blasted to all. Thank goodness for technology!! Lol

I had chemo today, and I have just one more in January. Then I am done! The dr said she will send me to the radiation oncologist, just for a consult to see what they recommend, but it will be pretty much up to me what I want to do with that. I will have to do my research. But as far as I am concerned, I am DONE!

Thank you, God. Thank you, Universe. Thank you, land, sea and skies. There's nothing more I wanted for Christmas or to bring in this New Year. Most of all...I thank all of YOU. You prayed, thought of me, screamed, stamped your feet, all with me in mind. IT WORKED!!!!! Thanks to you, I get to see my 2 beautiful children grow up, and have many more slow dances with my fantastic husband. I can not, just can not believe how wonderful of a group of friends and family that I have. I know how to pick 'em ;). I guess that makes me pretty great, too, huh? I still don't know why I was chosen to fight this, and still am in a bit of denial that I had cancer. Ahh..did you see that?? HAD cancer.

I AM A SURVIVOR! :*). Tears of joy.

Lots of love!! Happy New Year!
