Geri Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Today was my big day - just checked my watch and I'll amend that to yesterday - and I passed all the tests with flying colors. YES, I'M STILL CANCER FREE!!!!!!!!!! I'm still empty headed (MRI clear), still two very small spots on my left lung but no change in them (too small to identify what they are) as I've had these all along no one is concerned about them at this point. CT showed that all the fuss with my pericarial effusion and right lung fluid is now a thing of the past. So, I'm home free for another year.....this Saturday I turn 60, isn't that amazing! Most people, apparently, were surprised that I reached 55 (I was 54 at dx) and here I am turning 60 and no one is more surprised than me - not because I lived to be 60 but because I'm actually that old!!!!!!!!!! I'm still waiting to feel like a grown up. My family is giving me a birthday "un-party" dinner (I didn't want a party)this weekend and they can do it again for my 70th!! My life is good.

Nushka Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Geri, Congratulations! So glad to hear you are empty headed and NED. As for the birthday part...HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You are almost as old as I am. Isn't having another birthday grand? I admit I don't like admitting my age but it sure beats the alternative.

I am so very excited that this is such a SPECTACULAR week for you. My heart is even smiling this morning! Congrats on the news. What is your beverage of choice this time for celebrating? Whatever it is, I'll be having one (or more) with you! Love, Kasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geri Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Kasey I shall be drinking scotch and 7up and some nice white wine (the hell with the headache!) at my un-party, which is actually dinner for 14 catered by my daughter and son-in-law (with a little help from his and her Moms). Karen wanted to have a real party but that's not my scene at all so we compromised on the un-party with a few friends. Her in-laws are coming from NJ too so the house will be full this weekend which I love. That's my gift really, a quiet get together in front of the fire with people who mean something to me. I'm so very blessed, a house full of people and good test results....what more could I ask for. Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 You couldn't ask for one more darn thing, Geri! (except maybe having ME there too ) I shall be thinking of you, my friend. L, K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
