Miracles DO happen!

Mom got the results today from her CT done on February 24th, 2008.

Findings: No clinical evidence of ANY metastatic disease is present. This includes, lungs, mediastinum, liver....everywhere!

She is officially in complete remission! After 5 years in remission, she will be considered cured!

Keep them prayers coming for her!

Dr. Madden will be keeping a very close eye on her, appointments every month and very frequent CT scans. We asked about prophalactic chemo treatments and unfortunately there are no chemo's developed for maintanance of this type of cancer. Dr. Madden is very pleased with how well she has responded to chemo and appears very optimistic. He told mom that she needs to live each day like she was given a second chance at life. He mentioned that there is only a handful of people with this type of cancer that he gets the opportunity to give such good news to.

I think we can all agree that this is nothing short of a miracle....looking back at where she was at her first doctors appointment on October 28th, to where she is today...only 4 months later. Amazing!

Here is a picture of mom and me on the way home from the doctors appointment.

Add on to Movie Day

I tried to edit Movie Day at my house but I couldn;t figure it out . So I'll do a new post.

I realized after I posted it , that I had said nothing about the movie lol.
I bought Mary Poppins & with Jeannies help we put it together for the girls . ( Derrick was not interested). Anyways we had drinks , popcorn . scoops, cheese , & Denise done up a plate of cheese sticks w/ sauce ( ohhhhhhhhhh yummy ). The girls stayed interested for a good while then they started goofing off . That was ok tho we just goofed off with them . We had a ball. They had fun trying on my wigs , dancing around & of course making a mess. Best mess I ever had to clean up .
Jeannie or I one will be back in a day or so with my results from my CTScan done Tuesday . My appointment is with Dr. Madden at11:30 today. I'm scared , I don't know really how to explain it because it seems no matter whatI hear I'm scared . Be back soon hope you all have a great T.G.I.F. !!!!!@

Movie Day at my house

This is a pic of my 3 granddaughters & my 3 nieces ( my younger brothers girls who passed away 3-02 will be 1 year ) & of coure me .

LOL Jeannie is taking the pic so she don't see her.

This is what I call making memory's .

On 1-29 I went to the ER by ambulance I had a very severe pain shoot from my lower right back up to my shoulder . Well I happen to have been on the phone with Jeannie when it happened , next thing I knew it her & Emmy Belle were here and she called 911. Well it turned out to be really nothing , said I may have just turned the wrong way or something but called it a pulled muscle . Then on 2-04 I had a fever of 101.8. Carlos checks me every morning before he goes to work .So E.R. again ( 2x in 6 days ) I was admitted pneumonia both lungs but the left had more but it was still not alot. Spent 1 week in the " Big House"

I had had a head cold for a couple weeks , I thought I could get rid of it on my own. Carlos and Jeannie both were on me to go to the doctors but I told them 1 more day . Well I will never do that again . I have to realize with cancer you do not treat anything on your own. Besides $25.00 co-pay sure would have been cheaper then 7 days in the hospital.

Now for what may be some good news . I just finished cycle 6 of chemo today . So I am set up for a CTscan on 2-24 results with Dr. Madden on 2-27 and this could very well be the appointment that he puts me as stable . They will have to watch me closely ( not sure how that will be done but I quarentee I will know on the 27 th lol ) Wow it just seems to have gone so fast . By the time I get these results , It will only be 4 months since I was diagnoised . To go back and read the beginning of this blog to now . WOW I have come 1 helluva long way .

Thank- you everyone for keeping up with this and again and always thankyou all so much for all the thoughts and prayers I love you all
