Just saw this posting through an old friend's FB (can't remember if I'd invited this friend of friend's to this forum):

"So my poor city of n b has had a rough week....well I am ready to start turning some frowns upside down....this week I had scans to see where I am at with the cancer...well the results r in....the cancer that was on my bones is inactive....it is causing pain because it is scarring on the bone and will take years to heal....the liver met is GONE....the tumor in my breast is the same size....so what is the plan u may ask?!?! We r going to move forward with the lumpectomy to remove the tumor and will probably get radiation after the lumpectomy...after the lumpectomy I will officially be CANCER FREE!!!! What?!?! YES you are reading correctly and not going crazy...I said it CANCER FREE!!!! Shut the front door people?!?! Are you kidding me!!!!! I am just in complete shock and right now disbelief!!! You have answered my prayers!!! He is not ready for me!!!! Don't get me wrong I still have to deal with cancer for the rest of my life....I have to take a hormone pill everyday and have an intravenous infusion of herceptin every three weeks FOREVER!!! And herceptin is not cheap...$25,000 per infusion!! �� I will b getting scanned every three months for the first year and then every six months after that....then after a year of being free of this crapola I will hopefully get my double mastectomy with reconstruction...OMG!!!!
