As many of my dear friends know, the results are in. According to my oncologist, my Pet Scan came back "normal"! I don't really think I can put into words how I feel, but I will try.
When I first heard the news, I was home alone and it was early in the morning. I was feeling a little nauseous, probably from the stress of doing the scan and then waiting for the results. I was going to call Dr. Schwartz at 9:00 am but he beat me to the punch. When he said the word "normal" I was speechless and then I think I said something like, "Wow! That's great!" He said he was very pleased with the results and it was exactly what we were hoping for. I thanked Dr. Schwartz and then called Craig. He was ecstatic! (He had already told our friends that I was fine-the power of positive thinking1so boy was I glad that he was right!)
I thought I would be doing the happy dance or screaming from the roof top but I was numb, and tired. I guess I was just in shock. I posted the great news on Facebook and my post filled up with messages of love and support and joy! I've said it before and I'll say it again, all of the prayers and messages from everyone has helped me win this fight. I'm 100% sure of it! I am so thankful, and fortunate, to have each and every one of you in my life!
Honestly, it has taken several days for it truly to sink in. Once I started to tell people in person and I would see the tears of joy in their eyes, it started to bring tears of joy to my eyes. The hugs were amazing! I know it sounds weird, but when I saw how happy everyone was I started to believe I was going to be fine.
Someone told me that they never thought Craig could smile so Big! I am so happy to be able to make him feel that way and I am smiling Big now, too!
XO
