Thank you so much for sharing your good news.
Your journey has so many inspirational points that are valuable for everyone on this board.
#1. Demanding what is best for you from your Dr.
Congrats on pushing for drugs and scans!!! Camp out in the office for scans if that is what you feel is best for you. When they go to shut the doors and you are still sitting there with magazine in hand they might order a scan just to get you out of the office.
#2. Being Grateful for Each and Every Day
I too am living on the quarterly calendar. I have mixed emotions about living that way but...I do enjoy the little things in life that I used to breeze right past.
So FB....enjoy, continue to love life and of course I wish you many more "quarters" of an active, healthy life with friends and family.
Keep posting the good news!!! We'll be waiting for another good news post in 3 month.
Lori
