HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I have so much to be thankful for but probably top of my list this year is the fact that I got a good report from my oncologist last week.  My CT scan was excellent - no sign of cancer. YAY!!!  And I'm done with chemo and feeling better all the time.  I have started my radiation treatments - 5 down, 20 more to go.  So far those are not making me feel bad - a little discomfort in my middle but nothing too bad...and I should be done by Christmas.  What a fabulous thing to celebrate!
My thankful list is long...for the many people who lifted me up in prayer; for my wonderful family who took such good care of me; for my amazing friends who supported and encouraged me, gave me gifts, made food, did jobs around my house that I couldn't do; for awesome nurses and doctors who were/are so caring and kind; for meds and health care professionals who have the ability to get rid of the cancer in me; and most of all to God for seeing me through this.
In this COLD weather, I'm also thankful for a warm house, warm clothes, electric blankets... and lets not forget the turkey, stuffing, pies, and other delicious food that I was able to enjoy yesterday.
I hope that I can remember to take time each day to think about my blessings and give thanks for them.
My sincere wish for everyone reading this is that you have a wonderful holiday season, that you are blessed with good health and are surrounded by love. 
Thanks for reading.  Love, Susan

Chemo is over!

Yay!  No more chemo!  Will probably start radiation in 2-3 weeks but everyone says that's no big deal.  Right now I'm all about getting back to feelin' good.
We had a little celebration Friday. 
My chemo nurses/angels (they're the best) Barb and Kara...
Toasting to my last treatment!

I'm trying to get my strength back... plan to go back to work tomorrow (Weds.).
Thanks for reading!
