My Mom - IIB T4- dx almost 2 years ago to the date with emergency resection followed by chemo- had follow up CT scan today. ALL CLEAR!!!! Her CEA is < .005. This is amazing news- as she hasn't been feeling well for a few months with mainly generalized body pain and fatigue. We are so thankful with her news!

My youngest brother and his wife had their first baby today- AT HOME-yikes! All went well and it seems everyone is doing ok- they had told my parents they were going to have her at a hospital. They were driving the 2 hours to see them and my brother said- just come on over to the house---???

I know my mom could not have handled the stress of the scans/tests along with knowing of the at home birth. All in all everything turned out so well. Just a very long and stressful day for my parents. Glad my dad is retired and could go with Mom and be her support system.

Enough rambling....

    thanks!
    Thanks Gail!

    It is such a relief to get through those tests! I know my Mom worries with each new or prolonged pain, new 'symptom', etc. This will give her some breathing room until the next round of tests.

    We'll take the good news!

    I am not sure if my mom is over the shock and awe factor yet on either account!
