Great Early Christmas Present!

Yesterday I finally was given the best early Christmas Present - I am officially Cancer Free!!!.  After two longs months of waiting after having my last scan which was at the beginning of October and might I add a bit devastating having to wait patiently for two long whole months I was once again relieved to hear that there is no evidence of disease NED in my world.  I feel on top of the world today and am pleased to say that instead of going back in six months for a scan and check up I can go back in a year.

HURRAY!!!

Now just some interesting finding that came out of the latest scan the lymph nodes around the liver are still enlarged but it is not because of the surgery or cancer related but it could be because I have a chronic Liver disease - fatty liver well so what I have a fatty butt too lol  When the doctor asked me if I was a heavy drinker I laughed and told him I am usually cut off after one drink.  All kidding aside I must exercise more, watch my diet and a watch my alcohol intake.  Well this is kind of hard when I go down to Punta Cana those Majestic slushy drinks, the Sambuca just seem to appear before me and of course I can't be rude and not drink them.   I am also going to make an appointment to see my physician to see if anything else is going on because my mom has been battling Primary Billary Cirrhois for years and no this was not caused by alcohol abuse it is in fact a auto immune disease.

Wishing everyone good health and happiness especially during this Christmas season.
