I am Cancer Free!

I am cancer free!  Cancer free!  Did you hear me?  CANCER FREE!!!

We just got back from Dr. Hoberman and praise God I am cancer free.  She removed eight lymph nodes last Thursday and none of them had cancer.  They found no cancer from the left breast and removed stage zero DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma In Situ) cancer on the right side.  Amazing.  Relieving.  Thank God. 

Not only that, but all three drains were removed.  It didn’t hurt too bad pulling them out.  It was uncomfortable.  I feel like a free woman.  Free from cancer and free from those annoying, gross drains. 

Last May, just six months ago, I had a large tumor and aggressive cancer.  I spent a suffering summer doing a dose dense version of chemo and today I was told I’m cancer free.  We did it!  I say we because I was not alone.  I was cheered on and pulled through by my family and friends.  This is proof that God hears and answers our prayers.  Believe it.  I am blessed to have a God loving family and friends. 

Another bonus:  My hair, eyelashes and eyebrows are growing back! 

Have a wonderful sunny day.  My goal for the day is to walk a couple houses down and back again.  I think I can…I think I can…I think I can….

    I am SO VERY happy and grateful for your Cancer free news!! It is hard to believe that just one week ago you were anticipating surgery and look how far you have come in one week…drain, chemo, and cancer free. I know it has been quite the long road for you but you are truly an inspiration. I know that God will use you in many areas through this experience. Before you know it you will need a hair cut!! Our prayers of gratitude (for you and Sam!) go up and strength for you to endure this last phase of radiation.
