And the results are........

Well, this morning me and Joe and Denise, Caroline and Larry sat in the conference room at Regions Cancer Care center when Dr. Dan Anderson came in. He looked around the room and gave me a hug and shook everyone's hand. A moment of silence and he said...well, I have great news.... Yep I am free and clear of cancer. My pet scan was clean. WE BEAT IT!!!!!!!! Woo hoo!!!! Uh let me see, we were happy. (understatement of the year)

So I had a slight fever, so we decided to cancel chemo today and reschedule it for next friday. What that will do is put me back one week, but that is nothing. At least I see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Well, again thank you everyone for all your support and love and prayers. Thank you Lord for being with me during this time and carrying me through it.

I know I have told you over and over on the phone how great it was hearing the fantastic news! Everyone here in utica is so happy for you and looking forward to seeing you soon. When your hair grows back you just have to have the same hairstyle as the wig. that style looks great on you. Gee wonder what color your hair will be??? You look and sound great. Take care of yourself, don't try to do too much. Looking forward to seeing you. I know this will be a great New Year for you, it already is for us!! Have a great new year celebration. Love to all.
