Smile Good News

Hi everyone,
Maybe some of you need to hear some good news. Well, I had a Pet/CT scan done about 2 weeks ago and it was all good. I am still on Herceptin but I guess I can say that I am NEDWhich I probably have been since my surgery but you just don't know until you get the scan.
I have been having other unpleasant issues i.e. gall bladder attacks and then surgery about a week and a half ago. I am on the mend now and hope to never feel that horrible pain again. I was wondering if gall bladder issues are worsened by chemo? Anyone else have gall bladder problems after chemo? Mine actually started 2 years ago after the birth of my 4th daugther but for 2 years were fairly dormant. Thought maybe the treatments stirred it up.
Anyway, May God bless you all with a very Merry Christmas and remember that its really about celebrating Jesus, a baby who grew up to die, so that in believing in Him,we could have life eternal.
In Christ,
Darlene
