No Need For The Chemo Blues....

because no chemo for me this week! And for great reasons! All of my counts were beautiful. My hemoglobin was 10.8 and my platelet count was 118,000! Can you imagine my excitement!?! I'm still smiling from ear to ear. Such great motivation to keep working hard- I'm (with my great friend J.C.- I can't really take any of the credit) kicking this canSer's butt! I wanted to surprise T with the great news so I drove straight to the air station after leaving the c. center. When I pulled up to the building he works in, he was actually walking out to go to lunch. I started honking the horn and the look on his face was priceless. He looked so confused. He got into the car and asked if I was done with chemo already. I handed him the print out of my counts and told him no chemo for me! He was so ecstatic!

I have a scan scheduled for tomorrow and I won't know the results until Wednesday- such a long time to wait. And it's always hard to see the report. Seeing- YOU HAVE CANCER- in writing is hard. Of course signs of improvement make it better.

Thank you for all your prayers and positive healing energy. They are working!

Here's to HEALING!

Spring is here! Daffodils. March 2008.
