NED

Amazing how three simple letters of the alphabet can cause an IMMEDIATE flow of emotions out of two people when spoken by two knowledged people walking through a door, referring to a scan.

N.E.D.
No evidence of disease. I even have the paperwork to stare at it. *And yes, you bet I'm feeling tempted to frame it.

The wash of this past year...the amount of challenge our lives have faced.
Change.
Lost Hopes.
Disappointments.
Fear.
Confusion.

Such a list. And yet, I feel I haven't even made a dent in it.

One thing I'll NEVER forget *and you reeeeally have to of met nurse Kathy to appreciate this quote fully* was her and Dr. Citrin walking in to blurt out the test results, saying, 'Well, that was THE most boring two sentences I've ever read in my life! *referring to the path report* haha.
Yes. She's right. It IS a boring pair of sentences...and these days, I WELCOME BORING!!!
Boring means I have zero sign of disease at this point. Boring means maybe, just maybe I can get a little break from all the poking and prodding in the near future when my Herceptin chemo ends next spring and we're literally only being forced to talk *in the past-tense!* about this horrid disease. Boring? WAHOO!!!

Today's news was not without it's harsh realities... those that now 'write' my future. Some of those I will be blogging about in the future. Cancer. Sucks. Always has, always will. It has most certainly left my skiing over wakes that I will spend my future adjusting to... even just truthfully realizing...
but in THIS moment I've been afforded, I celebrate a clean scan.

Praise. God.

Thank you for your ongoing prayers and support in this. What a journey~
