That's the best news!

Wonderful prognosis from your doctor.  You should certainly feel happy with finally receiving your treatment plans.  And also good news, you get to keep your hair, although you might be a little jealous of my 3/4 inch hair - certainly cool in this summer heat and humidity!  Hugs Nancy

Nancy, you are soooooo stinkin cute!!! Not having hormones and now no female parts is equalling hot flashes. I am kind of envious of your cool, short hair.   Hugs, back atcha.

Wonderful News!!!

So Happy for you!

Thank you, CheeseQueen57. I almost feel quilty or bad in announcing my findings, especially when I see how much each of you have endured. I remember, before the findings, watching happy families out shopping, laughing, and looking like they didn't have a care in the world. Then, I would quickly remember my diagnosis and for a second felt envious of the other people. We are in this together no matter what our stage or treatment. I am here for the long-haul. You ladies are simply amazing.

Kiddo, I was so happy for you

Kiddo, I was so happy for you I stared to cry tears of joy.  That is wonderful news!!!!

Love,

Eldri

Oh, sweet Eldri, I soooooo wish this was the case for all of you. My heart aches that it wasn't. You, especially, have been through so much. You gals are such an inspiration to me. I will never fear the word Cancer again! You each have empowered me in many different ways. What I learned the most is that each day is a gift. We are not guaranteed tomorrow. I kept telling my precious daughters, "Don't let the Cancer diagnosis scare you or rob us from enjoying today. Heck, I can drive out the driveway and get killed by a Mack truck tomorrow and not even go out with Cancer." No one knows our expiration date, but our Mighty Lord. You warrior women keep putting up a good fight with laughter, humor, joy, peace, and strength. You girls have this!!!

Awesome

I am just more than pleased..  And you get to keep that gorgeous hair.  All is right with the world.  Seriously, I couldn't be more pleased for you and your family and actually, all of us with cancer, seeing that sometimes and more often than I realized, we are getting well!  God bless.

You are too sweet. Isn't God good? I thought FOR SURE because that was my BIGGEST fear He was going to take my hair away.  But, He didn't. Maybe, because after I read that chemo treatment for some of you went 5-8 hours, I seriously considered ditching the cold-capping and loosing my hair. He needed to bring me to that place of realization.

I had a terrible horse accident nine years ago, where I went out for a leisurely ride and didn't return home for 3 months due to breaking both my legs right above the ankle - with my right leg being a spiral compound fracture. I literally could not bare any weight on either foot for four solid months. I lived in a wheel chair and hospital bed, geting a shower one time a week. I prayed and prayed and prayed for a miracle each time they would take x-rays. It didn't happen. I was told I would never walk without a limp or a cane. I still have nightmares that one leg is shorter than the other. Anyway, I do not walk with a limp, cane, nor is one leg shorter then the other. I did experience a miracle of healing, it just took the full 8 months - which is truly what I needed for much self-examination and to re-prioritize what was truly important on a daily basis. I used to complain about doing endless laundry, dishes, taking out the garbage, etc. After being served meals on half clean dinnerware, eating from particles sill left on my utensils, my whites turning pink, sweatoutfits and sweaters shrunk two sizes, and not being able to take the garbage out, I quickly realized how wonderful it would be to do all those things - if given the ability to walk again. To this day, I still LOVE doing laundry, dishes, and taking the garbage out - simply because I can.  So, no matter the length of time it takes to get well is needed to make us each a better person. Love and hugs to you!

YES God is GOOD!

So uplifting to read your story today. Beyond happy for your diagnosis - and the fact that you have already done your share of suffering from your accident certainly makes that seem extra sweet. You deserve to celebrate - and I hope you dance for all of us!

xoxox, Billie

Oh, Billie, thank you, for your kind words. Yes, I will definitely begin dancing here soon. Everyday, I'm feeling stronger and healed. I'm still restricted on lifting anything over 10 lbs., which is a reminder that I had surgery 4 weeks ago. And, my bladder still feels a little sensitive at the end of my flow. I'm hoping that sensation will eventually pass. Otherwise, I want to get this all behind me and move forward. I meet with the radiologist for a consultation of brachytherapy on Monday. Then, I have to do my colonoscopy and mammogram. All the stuff I have been ignoring for too long. My oncologist is insisting I get these done ASAP and have clearance so he can give me a clean bill of health as we move forward over the next two years of observation. Love and hugs to you!
