Cancer-Free

On the 6th of September, I went to the hospital to have a PET scan.  This scan would show whether the last 6 months of chemotherapy had been succesful in treating my cancer.  2 days later, which seemed like an eternity, Skyler, Kinsley and I went to the University of Michigan to talk with my doctor about the results of the scan.

I was ecstatic to hear that the treatments had been a success (if you don't count the lung problems and other lasting side effects). 

I'M OFFICALLY CANCER FREE!!!

It sounds great to say those words.  I feel great.  I'm grateful to be healthy. 

In five years, I'll be able to say that I am cured.  Until then, I have to have regular scans and check ups with my doctors every 6 months.  Even though I am supposed to say that my cancer is in remission, it feels much better to say that I am cancer free.  HOORAY!

I thank my Heavenly Father, family, friends, and church for helping me get to where I am today.  I look forward to all the happiness, joy, love, and laughter, I'll be able to experience over the coming years..
