The BEST Christmas present ever!
Hey guys,
Got the most fantastic news today- had to go for bone scan #5 today to check on a dreadful spot on my ribs that showed up last Jan. out of nowhere. I swear I age 10 years every time I go. Anyways, I was even more nervous today because my markers went up a bit on Friday and I didn't know what to expect. The techs (who I know very well by now :-), called me back into an office to speak with me after the scan-a little scary, geez...- but when I got back there, they had all 5 scans lined up and let me look for a second and then said, "Merry Christmas, Kelly, its gone!" It really is the best Christmas present I could wish for. Don't know why it decided to hang around for a year, or how it came about in the first place, but good riddance, and thank you God.
Love, Kelly
