The Results are in!!

Dear Family and Friends,

I finally got the results of my CT scan today and I am cancer free!! The Dr. was very pleased with my over all condition, except for a few extra pounds that she said I must shed. She gave me the order to have my port removed... YEAH!!! I think that is what I needed to hear to believe that this journey is really coming to an end. The soonest I could get into the surgeon for that to happen is the end of this month. Praise God for healing me!!

Dr.
Wierman is very tricky, she asked me to raise my legs 12 inches and lower them slowly... while I was laying on the examination table, so naturally I did what she asked. She then told me that since I can do it I need to do it at least 30 times each day!! Along with changing my diet and walking each day.

Since my insurance wouldn't approve a PET scan which is what Dr.
Wierman
really wanted me to have, she is having me come back for another CT scan in 3 months, she will probably be watching me very closely for the first year.

I feel really good and have most of my energy back. I'm not nearly as scatterbrained as I was during the chemo, although I still have my moments. My memory has greatly improved, in my learn and play class I have 15 little ones and I knew all their names by the second class.

I still don't have enough hair to go
wig less, but it's getting there. It seems to be coming in fairly thick, but it sure is growing slow! It is definitely white in the front with some salt and pepper shades on the sides and back. I'm still hoping for some curls but it doesn't look that way so far.

I'm busy at work and when not at work I'm getting ready for the ladies retreat for our church, so all in all things are pretty much back to normal.

Blessings to all who prayed
diligently for me through this entire time, I couldn't have done this without the support you have given me. Sue
