Re: It's Tricia Keegan's Birthday! :)
Wow, I've been out all day and what a wonderful surprise when I logged in! Thank you so much Chelee for thinking of me, and huge thanks to everyone for your good wishes 
I haven't been posting much as it's been a whirlwind of a week. We had sad news yesterday that one of our cats only has weeks left and pallative care available to him, so I began my day with lessons in giving iv fluids to him.
Tomorrow is another big day when I get the results of my mri that I had to repeat. As some of you may recall, I've had a positive bone scan, inconclusive mri and negative pet/ct. The spot is too small to biopsy so my onc wanted to wait two months and repeat.
I've been so busy with Harry my cat and my Birthday I thankfully haven't had too much time to dwell on the results.
I'll be sure to post tomorrow what will hopefully be good news
Thank you once again my friends, although I had a nice day with family, your good wishes have helped me during a difficult and stressful time. xx
Thanks again Chelee!

Re: It's Tricia Keegan's Birthday! :)
Well, Tricia, since your B-Day is winding to a close across the pond I will only say that I hope you had something more fun than chocolate (and mind you, I am from Hershey!) that is say a bit more "Irish!" If you did not toast yourself today, I promise to toast you tonight after I get off the treadmill. Hope your MRI results are neg and you are off to another happy year of your life cancer-free!
