Thursday, August 14, 2008 YAHOOOOO!!!!

Today's a day to give thanks for prayers answered, and to ask for continued healing. I heard yesterday that my "marker " number is 14 which is in the normal range (anything below 21!) (The last one was 69.)
Also the CT scan that was done 2 weeks ago which showed a mass in the lower abdomen... well that appears to be an encapsulated mass of old fluid (post surgery). I am waiting for the pathology report on that. BUT THIS IS ALL VERY GOOD NEWS!!!!!
I am thankful for all the prayers that have been said and that continue to be said for me. I could not have gotten here without you all. I am thankful for your support and all the help and offers of help that you have given. I am thankful for the many blessings that I have in my life, especially my rock Tom and my boys Andrew and Kevin.
For now my chemo will continue through to the end of the cycle as planned. I will continues to update the blog as I hear news.
Till next time :-) Bets
