Talk about a whiplash day. I was just here in my home office cleaning up a few last things for the night when my phone rang, and for some reason I answered it. It was Dr. Tanabe! With the results!
Drumroll please….
Lymph nodes negative
Excised skin negative
I have met NED (no clinical evidence of disease), and I think I’m in love!!!!!!! This is a double-fudge brownie with hot fudge and whipped cream and sprinkles Woo Hoo yahoo holy &*()^%$ OMG I am so happy and screaming and crying for joy night. I can’t wipe the smile off my face.
Thank you Dr. T for the best anniversary present ever (today is DH and my 15th anniversary)! DH and I are laughing, and crying, and laughing again. I know we still have to pay attention and things could change. I remind myself that Joe’s lymph nodes were negative before he went straight to stage IV. Anything can happen with this horrid freaking beast of a disease.
But my survival odds are looking pretty damn good right now.
So cute: My sister called and left a message while DH and I were out for our celebratory dinner. She goes, “Woo hoo!! Just called to say Woo Hoo!” Feels so amazingly good to laugh again, and everything’s good for a laugh right now.
Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My joy is overwhelming .. didn’t know it was your anniversary too .. WOW.. this is a present to remember. Could it GET any better?! And yes.. we all who have any cancers have to always be aware that they could rear their ugly heads. For NOW and now is all we have – rejoice in a clean bill of health! MUCH love and to a wonderful year!
