Sara is back to work and back to normal life. That is, normal for her. She is on a maintenance chemo treatment that makes her feel very tired, but not too sick. So I will be posting further and further between blog posts because I hope I will have nothing to say. {which will never happen...}.
It feels like a huge rock has fallen out of our pockets and the future spreads out before us like a clean chalkboard. We are all so excited and happy. Each day is a gift. And I did not see that on a Hallmark card, I said it myself from my heart.
It is truly a privilege to know so many fantastic people and to experience the unbelievable response in a time of crisis. This quote came bouncing back to me from the old days...
" The world is not so bad a place as some would like to make it. But whether good or whether bad, depends on how you take it."

"Scans were clear.... Chromogranin A normal, no addtnl surgery.... Will be in Seattle once a month to meet with Dr. Lin to make sure the oral chemo is working and we don't see any surprises "pop" up:-) Dr.Lin used my Oncoplex results to explain why my cells went crazy and to prescribe my maintenance, one of the first patients to benefit from this new medical option! I'm outta the weed for the second time.... Now to keep it that way:-) thanks to all for love & support, and cheers to good health! (I'm emailing Dr.Park to tell him some can win the lottery twice:-)"
Exactly two years ago the 'fit hit the shan' for my family. I tore my minuscus, our rental house had been destroyed by drug addicts and was surounded by cops from 3 counties, Dave was in the process of getting a hip replacement, my sister was in the hospital with only God knew what, two babies were joining our family, my brother was on his way to the emergency room to consequently leave this world and Sara was diagnosed with cancer.
My Mom always said you only got as much as you could handle, but seriously?
So today we are all celebrating Sara kicking cancer's ass with all the help from all of you. The way everyone jumped on board to help her get through this is completely overwhelming. Sara is truly the strongest person I know. The last two years have been like walking under water. Today it is time to take a deep breath and get back on the horse.
We are so grateful to Dr. Lin and Dr. Park for being so smart.
I have a lot more running through my mind to say, but it all sounds too mushy. You can all read between the lines. Here's to a great day and to miracles!
Love to all.
