one story ends, another begins...

we went to see mom's doctor today

we waited and waited - 3 hours just to see him, another 45 minutes with him

we all waited to find out the results of the PET scan which would decide if she would move on with her treatment or not

and then the news came:

the tumors are now gone. 
Nothing has come back.

the cancer has disappeared


I told my mom that grandma had to leave this world to help her from a distance.
She agreed with me.

some people may think this is bullshit, but with a 10% chance of this treatment actually working on such an aggressive cancer was such a long shot, we planned for the worst, hoped and prayed for the best.

and the best came, and we are so very very happy.

She has a second chance at life - again.


In the tears we will shed tomorrow at the funeral home, and then friday at the cemetery, we will also be looking forward to mom's life cancer free. 

Hoping for forever, but are very happy and content with now.

Monday she starts round two of the treatment, and is already looking to the light at the end of the tunnel.

one story ends, another begins...
