Remission!

What a great day!! I went in this morning to have labs and visit with Dr. Te, and prepared for possible week of chemo. But when he came in to talk to us, he had a little twinkle in his eye and said that the bone marrow and aspirate had come back clean. The chemo has done it's job, and I am officially in remission. Roger asked what kind of remission he would expect, and he said a few years, but we know that FCR(my chemo) is new, and the remissions can be more like 5 to 7 years. What a fantastic feeling this is. It feels like a new beginning, and a chance to move on from this limbo we have been living in. So the plan for now is just to draw labs every 3 months and probably another CT scan in 6 months to a year. I feel very blessed today. This experience has made me appreciate the things and people in my life more. It has been a chance to see and feel love from such supportive family and friends and it has made such a difference. Roger has been my knight in shining armor...protecting me, and taking care of me. So many of you have kept in close touch with your good thoughts and wishes, and I appreciate all the prayers on my behalf. Thank you all so much! I'll keep this blog open and with any updates or changes that show up on my check-ups.
