Did You Say "Great News!"

Thoughts from Wiki: Did I hear "Great News!"? That's even better than "Do you want a treat?".

I'm embarrassed to say that I was so caught up in when Round 5 of chemotherapy was going to get going, that I forgot to tell you about the great news I received at my oncologist appointment on Monday. It was clearly a case of losing sight of what the real goal is-"Getting Rid of the Leukemia" and not "When is chemotherapy ever going to end?" What a huge thing to lose sight of, but we do that so often in our lives. We get so focused on the going through the motions that we forget why we we're doing what we're doing. We don't even see that we already have what we're working to achieve, if we only pause for a moment and breathe.

Ok, now the great news. Drumroll, please. All my tumors are gone! From physical examination, all my tumors are gone! You know, that sounds soooo good that I think I'll say it again and again, all my tumors are gone! Not to put a damper on the news because I don't want to and I'm not meaning to, but we won't know if the cancer is gone or for sure if the internal tumors are gone until I have all the post-chemotherapy tests in July. But in the meantime, I'm thrilled (what an understatement) that all my tumors are gone!
