Journal entry by Melissa Dorfman

Today is a wonderful, blessed day.  Upon examination of last week’s CT scan and bloodwork, Dr. Reynolds declared me “in remission.”  We are relieved, emotional and oh so thankful for all of the care, love, prayers and support you’ve sent over the last several months.  I’m feeling better each day, regaining my stamina and hopefully my hair.  Adam and I took this afternoon to go on a date and celebrate the rest of our lives together.  I’ll be monitored every three months for the next two years, but am hopeful that I fall in the 90% of people with Stage I ovarian cancer who do not experience an recurrence.  Thanks again to everyone and to G-d for the relatively smooth sailing through treatment.  We escpially appreciate our families, our neighbors, everyone who has fed us and those who have helped us to provide some continuity for our children.  With love, Adam and I are signing off, hopefully for good, from this Caring Bridge page.
