Hi everyone.
I just wanted to post a little good news for Mom. She saw the oncologist on Monday and he said she was doing wonderful. So much so that he doesn't want to see her again until January :) He also wants to hold off on another pet scan until January, which would make eight months since the last one. We are both really happy about this news.
This month marked the two year anniversary since the colostomy surgery. She is handling all of this just fine, like the trooper she is. I'm just so thankful that she is still here in my life. I would be lost without her. She turns 81 on August 1st and shows no signs of slowing down physically or mentally.
She went down to Orlando to visit my brother along with her two sisters over the 4th of July and had a lot of fun. It was our first time away from each other and I know she was a little scared but she found out she could do it. (Plus I only live 4 hours from there, lol)
So that is all for now. Thank you to everyone who has been there for us on this journey. Just knowing I could ask a question about anything and get the answer along with much love and support has meant more than you will know.
I don't often post here but I check in almost daily to see how everybody is doing. And Mom says her p*****s for everyone on the board.
Well, thanks for listening. I think of you all and hope and wish for only good health to everyone.
Love,
Linda and Mom (Miss Ellie)

    Hey Miss Marie,
    You have been here from day one for us. Thank you again for all of your "hugs" and support. Linda and Mom.
    PS, we just adopted two little kitties. I'll try and figure out how to post a picture. :)

    Great
    That is wonderful news and you both should be very pleased. It's nice that she can now get a little break from appointments. Now she can do a happy dance.
