I am CANCER FREE!!!
Happy Birthday Mom!!

I am back from radiation and seeing Dr. Posner who just gave me the news that I have been cancer free since surgery.  Radiation & Herceptin are really just being done to ensure that none of these cancer cells can live anywhere else in my body!!

These past months since surgery I have been so overwhelmed by all the new decisions and all the changes in treatment that I really did not ask this question until today... when can I yell from the rooftops that I have beaten this cancer??  Dr. Posner was so wonderful to explain to me that he considered me cancer free after surgery!!  Dr. Ganshirt went in and took out the cancer.  He said that means you are officially a survivor and now all these treatments are to ensure none of these little demons have been or will be able to spread to another part of me and wreak havoc!! I feel like an enormous weight has been lifted from me and I am free!!!  I knew this burden was heavy but I really cannot tell you how truly heavy it was!!  My elephant is gone and I can breathe freely!!
The best thing is this news comes on my mom's birthday!!  I am so blessed to have such a wonderful mom and I cannot think another day I would have wanted to find this out on!!  I love you MOM!!!
