Tooting my own Horn (Again!)

Most of you know I had a PET and CT Scan on the 8th. I've been waiting for the "official" results from Dr. Goff before I posted. We still have to talk about them, but Heidi her nurse, described them as "beautiful" with nothing on them. She wanted me to know first hand and to keep up the good work. They don't really have a baseline of my lymph glands, so they wanted to do a scan to see where they were at. I am still going forward as scheduled with all six IP chemo's, per Dr. Goff's recommendation. I guess according to Heidi, I am the first patient to go thru all six dose dense chemo's and all six IP chemo rounds. They are quite unsure what to make of me LOL. They wanted to make sure my bone marrow was keeping up with the IP and it all looks good. It's taking me about a week to feel good after IP, but all in all, it's worth it. Cancer has come a knocking and I'm kicking it to the curb for good.

Cancer never had a chance against you Jame. You're way too much of a pistol. Hmmm...this is a situation where it's actually good to say "I told you so." to somebody: I knew you'd beat it. Jamie Clobbers Cancer - your perfect "headline".

Many, many heartfelt congratulations my friend!! I cannot think of better Thanksgiving-week news than your clean bill of health. Way to go. See you soon, and we'll raise a glass together. Love you!

Great news, Jamie and John! You're almost done and I know I'm not the only one who's really excited about that!! You've heard "It ain't over until the fat lady sings". Well, I'm here, and I'm ready, and I'm gonna sing really, really loud when the time comes, so be ready!!!

Kass and I made plans while she was here to get together sometime after the first of the year and do some scrapbooking so I'm looking forward to some time with you both then.

Happy, happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Wonderful news, Jamie!! You are amazing and you are an inspiration. Today I am sure we will all be giving thanks for your health. I can't think of anything better to celebrate than that.

Two more rounds and you make the record books. I cannot imagine anybody taking on this fight more gracefully than you have.
