Great News!

Today, I found out that my test results from the PET scan and MRI from last week have shown that the cancer is GONE! 

I’m in shell shock. I don’t really believe it but my Head & Neck Surgeon who has always been very blunt; never one to mince words said that the cancer treatment worked and that it is gone. I needed to hear it from her.  Right now, I feel overwhelmed and tired from the appointment. I am happy but at the same time I’m afraid that the cancer is still lurking in the darkness waiting to come out. I hear that that’s normal for cancer patients who are recovering. 

Right now, I need to focus on being present and positive. To not worry about the future but to enjoy the now and the time I’ve been given to be with my family and friends. 

My sincere gratitude for my family, friends, neighbors and the strangers I’ve met along the way who have helped me get through this tough journey with their kindness and love. I have survived and the prayers, well wishes, and positive affirmations I received got me through this. 

I thank you all.
