HAPPY DAY, HAPPY HAPPY DAY!!! Today I feel the battle is truly over. Today the chemo port was removed from my chest. Now I know for sure that the docs feel that nasty stuff is all gone. I AM A SURVIVOR. It's been a rough 9 1/2 months but the battle has been won.
We were going to go on a little trip to celebrate the cure and my birthday but we have decided to stay home. I wanted to go to Napa Valley but Jerry is not a wino like me, in fact he rarely drinks alcohol in any form. Wasn't it smart of me to marry my very own designated driver? We looked at a few other places in California but decided it was a little too much trouble to get the "bus" in shape and spend a lot of money when we can go there next summer and really enjoy it with, hopefully, some friends. It was my decision in the end so I am not disappointed. We will go to a very good steak house for my birthday dinner. I would rather have cioppino but that can also wait until spring or summer.
I will continue to write on a sporadic basis and I will try not to bore you.

Love and HUGS to everyone.


Linda

Good news, better news, WONDERFUL NEWS!!
Dr Najafian took a couple of chunks out of my butt on Tuesday and today I got the news: NO SIGN OF CANCER. It's been a rough 10 months but hopefully it's over. Now I just have to have the chemo port removed and we may be able to get away, at least for my birthday.
As you can see, Kirby and Kelsey are ready to take off. That was the vehicle available so they jumped in and just sat waiting for us to take them somewhere. Finally I will be able to chronicle my travels with Kirby and Kelsey.
Love and hugs to all.
