I'm kicking cancer's A*#!!

So I had my PET scan this week (no I'm not a dog!) So, drum roll please.................there was NOTHING glowing! I have no active cancer! This has been all so surreal! It still feels like a weird dream. Everyone is so excited and Kent and I have just been kind of just really calm about it. I asked him why that is, he said it's because he just knew everything was going to be ok, it's what he expected. Don't get me wrong, I have had my moments where things have been really crappy through this whole thing, I have been really sick, I have been scared, I have been worried. But we have been so blessed and so loved through it all! Thank you all so much for all your support!

So the game plan is, I have three more rounds of chemo. This is to insure that the cancer is completely gone (the PET scan only detects things bigger than 1cm) and that it isn't coming back! (I am currently in the infusion room starting my 4th round, then two more and I should be done August 6th.) So I should have a cute hair style by Christmas!

Again, everything has been like a dream. This part has gone by really fast, although I was sick and in a lot of pain for a very long time before I realized that I had cancer. I was literally dying and that part is scary! I hope that I am around for a very long time, I want to see my boys graduate, go on to college, raise families. And I've only had 5 years with my sweet husband! I have many more years left in me! You're not getting rid of me! As my sweet brother-in-law exclaimed, I am kicking cancer's A*#!!


(My dear friends, Karla and Lorayne, took me shopping. Karla got me a "wig".......lol!!)

End in sight?

So, I guess it's been a month since any updates from me! Sorry guys! Things here have been going great! I have been feeling good, not very much nausea and no wicked sore throat this time. I do have a little cold and a yucky cough but I think that I'm fighting it pretty good. My biggest concern nowadays is figuring out a preschool for little man and not getting too worn out chasing him around. He is as busy as ever! I actually did some laundry, dishes, and cleaned a part of my room yesterday, so I must be feeling pretty good (or maybe the chemo really is making me lose my mind....lol!) Oh, I guess I have been having menopause symptoms (one minute I'm sweating, the next minute, I'm freezing cold) I think it's only temporary though, so eventually I won't have to deal with that (of course I get to deal with it again in about ten years, yay for me!)

We did go out to the coast at the end of May with Kent's family and had a great time. We made s'mores, played on the beach, relaxed, it was really nice to get away. (We missed Jakey, he was having fun on a band trip at Disneyland, poor him!)

Next Monday is a big day for me, I have a PET scan. They shoot dye in me and see if anything is glowing. That's right, I said GLOWING. Then we'll see what the game plan is (how many more treatments, how much cancer is still growing or not). We should have the results on Wednesday, so i will try and remember to update everyone about that. Hopefully there is an end in sight!


Ethan takes lots of pics of me throughout the day with my phone so this one is his doing. (I still have my eyebrows!)
And here is our beach trip.......
