Honestly, I was starting to freak out…I hadn’t heard anything from anyone yet. In the past, I had usually heard my scan results either the day of or the next day. My mind started playing mean tricks on me – I started thinking that they weren’t calling because they just wanted to tell me the news while I was there and that had to mean bad news – right? WRONG.
Scans shows nothing, nada, zilch! I am still NED!!!!
It turns out Dr. H’s nurse is out of town this week and she is the one who always emails and calls me – we are tight like that! But with her being out of town, things feel through the cracks, as Lisa told me, and she felt horrible that I hadn’t gotten my results – eh, whatever. No one needs to feel bad, I just needed to hear that my report was boring – I like boring.
I live with stage IV metastatic breast cancer that has caused 3 brain surgeries and leukemia that required a bone marrow transplant. . I like to write about life - and I don't hold back! My mission is to always remind myself and others anything is possible,

Same song and dance…
I haven’t had much exciting going on lately – which I am NOT complaining about…just not anything notable to blog about. Sorry for the lack of writing.
Things are going really well. I am feeling a little better every day, my hair is growing (almost long enough to not look like “cancer hair”), we bought an elliptical and I am doing that at least 30 minutes a day (it is a start…nowhere near what I was doing before chemo, but I am trying to learn to give myself a break…trying), doing a weekly bible study with some of my friends which I completely love studying with them, started painting/crafting again which is bringing me so much peace and happiness.
It is with all these wonderful things going on that my upcoming PET scan scares the heck out of me. Dr. H told me a few weeks ago she doesn’t expect anything to change on it from the last one which gives me great comfort, but I would be lying if I said I wasn’t scared at all…of course I am. I am trying to give that fear over to God, to let myself remember He is in ultimate control but it is hard not to worry.
My scan is this coming Wednesday. Please pray that it is shows no evidence of disease.

Christmas
We had a really great Christmas at my sister's house. It was so much fun seeing all the boys together, spending time with everyone and pretty much just hanging out.
Decorating cookies for Santa
Family picture before Christmas Eve church service
One last cookie before going to bed.
Canvas I made for Rachele as a thank-you gift for hosting all of us.
Now with 2011 gone and the start of 2012, I am really looking forward to the new year. I know this year will bring many changes - starting with one of my best friends having a baby next week, Ian going to be in school 5 days a week in August (yes, I am already sad about it), me starting to work on Project Sending Love again, and much more that I can't think of right now. :)
I hope that each one of you have a wonderful year that is blessed and filled with love and friendship.
