NO CHEMO!!! YAYAYAYAY

That's about it :) We saw my neuro oncologist today and he said that my MRI looks great and I don't need chemo. He wants me to have an MRI every 3 months to keep an eye on things and see him after each one. Dustin and I are VERY happy!!!

A Wal-Mart Greeter

I have to tell you about what happened to me on Saturday, it was really neat. My friend Sherry and I went to Wal-Mart to get some things. We walk in and are welcomed by the greeter. Then, after walking into the store, the greeter comes walking up to us quickly saying "excuse me". I ignored him at first thinking he was talking to someone else, but then he was looking right at me so we stopped. He came up to us and just started telling me about his own experience with having a cancerous tumor on his esophogus that was really big (like the size of an orange?). He continued with telling me how with the power of the priesthood blessings he got, the prayers from friends and family, and having his name in the Temple how he is now cancer free and his Dr. has called him a miracle. He was SUCH a cute little old guy! Okay, not that old but in his 50's. His name is Joseph. At the end of his story, he asked me for my name for prayer purposes. I was truely inspired by this man! When he left, he thanked me for letting me share his testimony. All I can say is WOW!!!!

MRI Results

We saw my neuro surgeon tonight for a follow up. I had an MRI last week from finishing radiation therapy so he looked at the images. He said that everything looks great, but is a little concerned with a little spot. He doesn't think it's a recurring tumor but a calcified deposit. He wants to watch it. We're hoping it'll disappear, if they can do that? Anyway, I'm doing great and feeling great so yay for that!

Oh it's been a while

First, I want to mention that I got the biopsy results on my colon, and the nurse said it didn't show signs of the ulcerative colitis, but I have mild colitis. I'm hoping that the medications I've been on and will be on for another 2 weeks will take care of it and I'll be okay. I was very glad to hear that it's not the ulcerative colitis, as you could imagine!

I had my follow-up MRI yesterday and will see my neuro oncologist next Thursday. I'm anxious to see what my brain looks like and to know what's next from here. I'll post the news next week!

Another colon update (blah!)

I went in for my flex sigmoidoscopy today and they ended up doing a colonoscopy. My colon is swollen (haha that rhymes). The Dr. thinks my immune system is attacking my colon but wants to wait for the biopsy to come back from pathology. I just want to be healthy, is that too much to ask? Yep, must be! I'll post again when I get the pathology results. I hate this :(
