YAY GOOD NEWS!!
My scans came back showing no new evidence of cancer. Docs say it was a hard scan to read as all my incisions (my tummy looks like Frankenstein) show on the scans, but they discounted those areas and my liver, lungs and pancreas which were the main areas of concern, show up being clear. YAY!! Thank you Goddess!!
I've been in extreme pain from the Gall Bladder surgery and I wasn't saying a whole lot cuz I thought it was normal. The scans also show that in the GB site that there may be a "subtle leak or incomplete closure" which would explain the pain. I've an appointment on Monday with the surgeon to look over the scan report and decide what to do. My doc says I may have to go in for more surgery but at least I have an answer and will be able to move on shortly.
I have one more chemo treatment to go through next Friday and then in 3 weeks I'll meet with my doctor and he may or may not decide to do more chemo, we'll go from there. So I still have some more rough water to go through but at least there's a light at the end of the tunnel! YAY!!
Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, energy and continued support!
AND.........today was like Christmas for me. First I got the good news from the doctor and then when I was checking out, I was handed a bouquet of Daffodils. Every year as a cancer survivor, I would buy myself a bouquet of these at work when the American Cancer Society would sell them. I was kinda bummed this year because I thought that I was going to miss them, but nope the Gods saw that I got them this year as well. I see this as a confirmation that I'm a continued survivor....then when I collected my mail this afternoon, there was a box of Sees chocolates from my late husband's mother for my birthday. It truly was a much needed, wonderful day!

So glad to hear all is clear with your scans!! I have been thinking about you and hoping that all would be ok, sounds like you had a really great day!
That is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING news!!!!!!!! You are definitely a survivor!!! May you continue to receive nothing but blessings!!!!! I know you feel my pain on the financial situation, woman you are a pilar of strength. You have been through so much and you are still standing..*hugs*
'Tis indeed the luck of the Irish... may the blessings continue to pour in.
I count my years too... I may only have a "minor" diagnosis of bipolar disorder, but the average mortality for someone with this condition is 35. Or, as Tom Lehrer once stated, "When Mozart was my age he had been dead for 10 years." (not paraphrased -- Mozart was almost 36 at the time of his death, and in my case it would be 20 years) The major problem for bipolars is the desire to end it all, the sweeps of mood are so debilitating... but the last time I had anything like suicidal tendencies was 18 years ago.
We are all survivors. Every day, every minute, we break our own personal record for existence.
