Miracle

When we arrived in Seattle we were told by three different doctors that we would be here a minimum of 6 months.  They said "we add time and treatment if necessary but never shorten the treatment length".  Almost two weeks ago I had a check up scan that showed the tumor was at 6% size and considering the amazing results we had with the last scan they thought they would see a better number.  They wanted me to have another biopsy to see what was going on in the tumor, however, my immune counts were at a 0 so it had to wait a few days.  The biopsy went well with only a small incision (which I was thankful for) and we got the results back on Wednesday.  What they saw in the scan was only a cluster of DEAD cancer cells! I AM CANCER FREE!

I still have to undergo one last round of chemo (which I just checked in for) that will last 7 days, along with my last spinal tap chemo (#11).  I have to do that because this is a liquid cancer or something...I don't understand. Then my blood counts will drop with a risk of needing blood transfusions and possible isolation do to low immune system again.  Once those things have recovered (they take about 2-3 weeks) I will be scheduled for another full body scan to make sure everything is clear.  There will be a heart scan (to see what damage the chemo has done) and if all those tests come back clear I will go in for operation to have my lines removed. I think there may be one or two more appointments after that to see that the operation went well and then I can GO HOME!  All going to plan we will be HOME FOR CHRISTMAS!!!! I am sooooo excited! Never thought I would say but, I miss Havre! (not so much the cold and the wind) I am so looking forward to seeing my friends and everyone and excited to cuddle with Emma (my dog) again!

We are so Thankful to God who has healed us! So overwhelmed by His miracles and blessings! And even thankful for the oils he has made known to my family (even though I protested in taking them!).  And thank you to all who have supported, prayed, and thought of us through this epic journey!

Love you all!
