Thank you God!


HI!

Reasons to celebrate...

Been off Herceptin since July 24, 2008.

My tumor markers are under control, in normal range, along w/all blood work (full panel of areas from oncologist and endocrinologist).

Had my chest/abdomen/pelvic CT scans today and I am STABLE, STABLE, STABLE.

Wow! Life is good. Freedom is awesome.

Thank you for your love and support.

XOXOXO,

Andi http://www3.telus.net/public/a7a55952/thoughts/butterfly.gif

Oh! Andi -
Make room for me on that prayer rug - I am bowing right with you to the greater powers that have granted us this gift of staying off treatment for a very awful disease!!!

You are a few months further along without our mighty Vitamin H, so I am stepping in your footprints, my friend.

Lets keep proving that all that discussion on the cancer stem cells being killed by targeted therapies is RIGHT ON!

Great news! Andi. My sattellite dish was acting up just five minutes ago. It must have picked up the good news just now! (I am joking. My notebook is hooked to the phone line. I was scared that the big TV in the living room had got 'fried'. Luckily it righted itself quickly. :)

You each inspire me! I am ever wowed by your strength, courage and fab attitudes. I love you all! Truly I do! Thank you for sharing this happy news with me and rejoicing along with me.

I wish every one of you LONG LIFE and STABLE reports.

My prayers and thoughts are ever with those who are still denying the statistics. I read Richard Bloch's book (the H & R guy who had lung ca and was told to put his affairs in order cause he only had mnths to live). He lived at least another 25 yrs, I swear. He rejected the dismal diagnosis. And used love and chemo and Spirit and dogged determination to prove that doc wrong. He said, SOMEONE HAS SURVIVED WHATEVER KIND OF CANCER YOU HAVE. WHY CAN'T YOU BE THAT SOMEONE?

Miraculous outcomes work for me. And, for YOU too! Why not????
