Good News!

I have some good news to share. The most recent CT scan, my 3 month post chemo, shows I am cancer free! I like the sound of that. Don't you? The facts are showing what I am feeling, energized and ready to grow hair, grow flowers, and grow optimism.
I must admit, the week began to crawl by from the time the scan was done and until my next doc. appt. I called his office just to check on my appt. time and found Jennifer, she schedules all my tests, appts., etc. She was there alone on a Friday and I never expected she could divulge any info to me and I shared with her how I supposed the doctor would give me my results at our appt. on Tuesday. She paused, then gave me the good news so calmly. I had called her on the way to see my therapist and instantly pulled over to the side of the road to react properly, which means I shouted, threw my hands in the air, did a mental happy dance, and proceeded to call my hubby to share what I heard.
We had both been trying to stay level, not getting too down or too up. If you've ever tried to do that you know how ineffective it is. Like being on a tightrope that isn't very tight. There's a lot of balancing involved and it is nearly impossible to stay put. Now, we were on terra firma, completely ecstatic! I hadn't realized until that moment how tense I had been. The perverbial ten pound weight resting on my shoulders was instantly lifted. I continue to feel light and sort of, dare I say it...normal? Not sure what that feels like anymore, but it must be close. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Carpe Diem!
