A brief update

and it's good freaking news!!!!  My tumors are stable, y'all. 

When the doctor told me, I cried.
I cried with the nurse.
Two friends of mine came to the waiting room to visit me, and I cried with them.
I cried when I texted Eric.
I cried when I emailed my mom.

What an overwhelming feeling.  A feeling that prayers have been answered.  A feeling that the work I'm to do here isn't nearly done yet.  I have been praying for an accepting heart and spirit, that whatever happens, I want to feel peace.

Aside from my good news, the day was uneventful.  I'll be continuing with the chemo I've been on for the least three treatments.  It's hard, but I have a lot of support. 

I am grateful for all the people who have prayed for me. Whether you did it one time or every day, thank you. Thank you.

  15. Such great news!! Small world - I was "chatting" with Barb Wesson on FB when I saw her post. I knew then there was good news at CaringBridge - we have a feeling that you were meant to be in TX for this part of your treatment. Please know that prayers are continuing - and the positive thoughts are continuing to float to you on those prayers!
    Merry Christmas - and HAPPY New Year!!!
    Love, Missy & David
