Did you know that NED has a first cousin???? He is dancing with me!!!!
That having been said...I am not quite dancing with NED, but I had an awesome,faith-building, happy, reason to be extra thankful appointment with my oncologist this afternoon.
I am responding so well to the Tamoxifen, that my CAT scan showed NO evidence of the previously seen liver cancer, nor is it in my lungs, heart, kidneys, spleen, abdominal wall,bowels...almost no where! The reason NED isn't shining his shoes for the dance is that there is some cancer in my bones. My thoughts are, I have only 1 liver, stomach, spleen, heart, whereas I have 206 bones!!I wish I had no cancer anywhere~but I am over the moon with thankfulness! As I said, NED has a really close first cousin, and believe you me, I am dancing with him!!!!
My onco doc said this is not a miracle ( uh..ok) as there is no cure~ but as long as I am responding favorably, he considers me in remission!!! I will be having a PET scan to see what "lights up"~ but that isn't until February!The holiday season looks good.....
Thank you all for you support, prayers, good thoughts, well-wishes,emails and all around encouragement. I am humbled and honored to be in your company.
I will raise a glass in Thanksgiving to all of you on Thursday....
Hugs,
Chen♥
