Cancer Cure!!

Share
Just got a call from my doctor and after the PetScan and a Bone Marrow Biopsy earlier this week--he sees NO evidence of cancer--not even enough to warrant radiation!!
I am so mixed in my feelings--happy but tired still---which I will be for some time still.
How funny that 'good health' will be the new norm?
A huge shout out of thanks to all who sent me words of support and love and prayers!!
My takeaway from this? Be a better, kinder person and don't 'dump' friends when they are ill. Be there for them at whatever level they may need.

Midkid has won the battle!
I am so happy for you!
We are all so very happy for you.
God has blessed you greatly.
Feeling better is just around the corner.
So glad to hear the good news!
Yay! Fantastic! Fabulous! Terrific! Wonderful! 🎉👍🏻💗😁🌷
Hoping this good news helps your husband realize how important you are and pays you the attention you deserve. That man needs an epiphany and maybe this will do it. From what you’ve described in your posts he needs an infusion of “warm & fuzzy”.
Did he take you out to celebrate? Bring you flowers? Goodness I hope so.
It's weird--I'm 'cured' but I'm still really sick. Now my hair is beginning to grow back and in a few weeks I won't look so weird. (Last night DH and I were watching football together and I randomly asked him if my bald head had bothered him. I could tell he was hesitant, but he answered "yeah, it did. It reminded me 24/7 that you had cancer and that was hard".) well---a little too late, maybe, but it did show he was worried all along.
Dr. reminded me to be good to myself and get a lot of rest. AT least through the holidays and then one day at a time. In 2 more months we'll do another PetScan but I think since he didn't order up a round of radiation--I can relax a little.
You've all been there for me and that has meant a lot. I could be super cranky and angry at DH and you didn't judge me for it.
Looks like I WILL be going to my son's for Thanksgiving, but DH has said if I feel uncomfortable or anxious he'll fly me home. Good to know I can escape if I need to. I have not talked to my son at all in weeks, so I don't know what to expect. He is incapable of being 'calm' and peaceful and I will take my laptop and some books and hide out in the room.
I am so happy, but you can't tell looking at me--eyebrows make for a lot of emotion, you'd be surprised!
Feel better soon!
Keep eating steak like you have to keep up your iron.
Enjoy Thanksgiving at your Son's, maybe an overnight in a hotel nearby?
Whatever you need, you should have it!
Had no idea about the eyebrows, never would have occurred to me. Feeling dumb here. Thanks for sharing that. Talking through your illness has also helped some of us understand what friends have gone through. So really, thank you!
Happy Thanksgiving, with so much to be grateful for!
Son's house is roughly the size of a small hotel, so no problem 'getting lost' in there and nobody will miss me.
I just asked DH to PLEASE have my back and not let them harangue me about anything. If it gets bad, I will toss over $500 and go home. A big part of the 'drama' is that have not seen me since two days after my first infusion and I looked OK. Now I am bald and sick and it IS disturbing. I'm used to it--and my hair grows fairly fast, but I won't look like me for months.
I DO need to eat more protein, it's just that nothing tastes good! Today was a "I wanna sleep all day" and I am going to eat dinner here in a few minutes and then crawl in bed with a book.
