A Blessing

Hey everyone! Quick update! It's been so long since I've posted...crazy.

I am doing great! Thank you to everyone who has been thinking of me these past 2 weeks. I am bending my knee and doing exercises, I have my knee bending to 90 degrees now. We went for a check up today and we only heard great news. I am weening off of the pain meds because I'm doing so well! My incision looks fantastic and is doing so well. My surgeon's associate came and checked out my incision and took out a few stitches. Thank goodness because they are so itchy! I go for an appoint with my surgeon on the 5th. I have an hearing test and an xray and then an meeting with him! All fingers crossed, were hopefully going to get approval to start chemo again soon, and that is decided by the looks of my incision wether it is healed enough. If he says we're in the clear, then I have plans to start the very next day, Wednesday, June 6th. The sooner we start, the better so...GAME ON.

The very very very exciting news I have to report, we got the pathology results back from my tumor that was successfully removed!

We found out that greater than 95% of the tumor has responded to the tumor! they hope for at least a 90% response and I am at greater than 95%! This means my treatment will be just like the last 10 weeks, we will not introduce new chemo drugs, and my chance of relapse is significantly less!

Today has been a blessing and this news has brightened our day. The future is slowly starting to piece together and we are moving on one step at a time. 20 more weeks of chemo and then this little c will be gonezo! GOODBYE CANCER!

Much love and peace to you all!
