Super good news today!

I had a PET scan on Tuesday, which is a test to see if my breast cancer has spread to other parts of my body. The results showed that my bones, brain, and lungs were clear, but there was a possible abnormal area in my liver. My oncologist felt that it was probably nothing, but wanted to get another test to follow up. Today I had an MRI of my abdomen which showed that my liver is normal. YEAH!!!!! I feel such relief. When you receive bad news like cancer, it feels like there is never going to be any good news again.

So far I haven't been feeling too bad following the chemotherapy. Mostly a little tired and nauseated, but not enough to throw up or anything like that. After today I am done with appointments and tests for a while, and am looking forward to having a few days to let everything sink in. I am feeling really positive and grateful for all the blessings in my life, especially for my family and friends who have been so supportive.

    P.S. I vote you wear wigs. You could have a new hairdo every day! One day Katy Perry, the next Pink, then Marilyn Manson, oops I meant "Monroe"!
