Miracles do happen.


I tried really hard to not call for my PET scan results today. I really wanted to make it through the holiday assuming the best and just hear the results in person on Tuesday.

I was too anxious and actually started calling at 8 am today. About 40 minutes ago, my favorite nurse called me back with the results.


Drumroll, please.......

There is no evidence of residual or metastatic disease. This means my cancer has not spread.

The doctor who read my scan noted: Within left breast and left axilla (lymph nodes), cancer seen on prior PET scan is no longer visible.

UNBELIEVABLE.

He couldn't see cancer....any cancer at all....anywhere!
I will go into surgery cancer-free.

This is a miracle.

My chemo worked. Our prayers were answered.
I can breathe again.

I couldn't have done this without you all.

Thank you friends and THANK YOU GOD!!

Happy Holidays!
