Do you want the good news or the bad news first?

Ok So the bad news is I won't be losing much more weight...The good news is I got the best news possible today. All of your prayers have been answered. First things first. I went for my mamogram and ultrasound today. The radiologist couldn't find anything in there to be worried about. Not even a cyst. She thinks it was just something swollen due to monthly hormones. That was the first good news. Then on the way home from that appointment, I got a call from my kidney specialist. He gave me even more good news. My tests from last week in that department were so good that he is stopping my chemo after Fridays treatment. Since everything is looking good and my kidneys are starting to show some stress from the treatments, he thinks it will be best if we stop them. I will still have to go for three more radiation treatments, though. If the tests show the same results in a couple of weeks, I won't have to go back on it. All of the tests show that I am cancer free!

Thank you all, for your prayers. It means so much to me that you have all been here for me through this. God really does answer prayers.

    Oh Micki.....you stinker, my heart was totally pounding and in my throat when I opened the post....but what a fantastic surprise I got. "Bad news is no more weight loss" !!! LOL. I've said before you are a Miracle Woman, and that hasn't changed.

    Prayers won't stop, till the radiation does anyway, but meanwhile, I'm just gonna sit here with a huge ol' smile on my face and tears of happiness running down my cheeks.

    luv 'n hugs,
    Karen

    I wish I was there ...... in fact -- I wish a bunch of us were there with you ... we'd surround you in a group hug jumping for joy - giving thanks for the good health you do have . .. Here's a thought ......

    Just imagine ...you have a group of internet people that you don't know . You have no faces to relate to ...just posts . Anything and everything you posted , urged us to be better & be more creative. You showed us some cool stuff ,too. You also showed us hope & dignity facing the odds .
    The love that was exchanged between posters & you , couldn't be matched - ever ! Everybody is praying for you .

    You know that that all us people have been a part of your life and love you . Everything you posted has been a part of you. We KNOW you .

    ( Here's Kathy Lev - jumping through the screen to hug you )

    This is great news!!! I'm so happy for you. I still have your SSJJ gift hanging at my front door & whisper a prayer each time I pass through. But, I'm a little slow. Just the other day I saw the tree that you had created in it!!! It's been there all this time. Goofy me!

    Yippieeiokiyeah!

    It can be done and we are getting better at it!

    Not that it is my business, but please get some emotional help/support, as though you may not yet realize it, you are going to suffer 'suvivor guilt'.

    Hugs,

    Brian
