Woo Hoo! Good News!

Today was Treatment Day again (weren't we just here two days ago?). Thank you, Kylia and Ivan, for keeping me inside my skin from 10:30 to 1:30, waiting for the test results from Tuesday. The results are in and they are GOOD! The CT scan, bone scan and liver function tests show one tumor got the tiniest increment bigger and the others stayed the same or got smaller, so we can continue the present treatment! Whew! None of that pesky chemotherapy cancelling our trip to Hawaii this month. Get to keep my hair at least 9 more weeks! I take back all my whining over Treatment Day if the results continue like this for a long time.

Ohhh, I knew it would be good news!

I think you should have a (truly) tasty, silly-named drink in Hawaii to celebrate, complete with mini umbrella.

Hugs!

Jan .... I know a resiliant person when I have endured dificult obstacles with them or have watched them and you have always been there ... on top and you can endure this shit. And that nasty shit they make you drink .... well as most who know me know that I have put worse shit than in my ugly mug so just close your eyes and guzzle that crap .... kinda like I do Ivan's lousy fucking coffee. I love you Janet ... and you can always count on my spiritual faith in your corner !!

Adding my late... but heartfelt Waa-HOO! I'm so glad to hear the great news!!!!

(Waa-Hoo is a favorite term after watching the movie IQ where Walter Mathau as Albert Einstein yells WAAHOO with elation and joy and his hands high in the air while Tim Robbins takes Einstein/Mathau on his first motorcycle ride).
