Ultrasound Update

~ Papa G's Birthday Party Sunday,
July 27th, 2008 ~
LOOK HOW BIG BRENNA IS GETTING!!

(and see how my scar is barely noticeable!!!!)

I am so sorry but I have had NO time to give you an update!! I am about to run again (the good thing is I have the energy to keep running!!!).

I will give a VERY detailed post tomorrow but to appease you here is a "quick" version:

1. Haven't heard a word back from the doctor

2. Saw my ultrasound report and it said..... NO EVIDENCE OF THYROID RESIDUAL TISSUE!!!

THIS IS HUGE NEWS!!! If there is NO residual thyroid tissue (they got it ALL out during surgery) then my recurrence rate is EXTREMELY LOW!!! If there is no thyroid tissue then the cancer isn't going to be FED AND REGROW!!!!!!

The report said 2 unspecific lymph nodes which could mean anything.... even if it isn't good it just means the radiation will keep trying to kill the tumors (remember doc said it will take 3 more months from now to do its complete job) and worst case scenario then more radiation... NO BIGGIE!!! I would love to be quarantined again after working for the past 2 months! WOW - it has been 2 months already!!!

I AM ON TOP OF THE WORLD!!! I feel so fantastic and to know there is NO thyroid tissue makes me feel like I am SO CLOSE TO THE END!!!!


I will update you again as soon as the doctor calls me.

** I think we can almost start singing that song.... NO MO MOMO!!!!

Beautiful Bran - I am trying to think of lyrics to the music for No Mo MoMo. My heart melted to see the photo of the Chandler family holding precious Brenna. Oh my gosh, has she grown. Thank you for the update which is wonderful news of your beating this setback in your life. Our circle of prayers are there for you, every day. I feel better tonight in reading your Blog & your upbeat feelings are so inspiring. Go girl! Love, Grammy

I LOVED reading today's update because it is so encouraging and reassuring at the same time. See, I told you from the beginning that we will just pray you through to good health again, and that's exactly what's taking place. Can't wait for the next good report. Keep 'em comin'!!!!

Looking forwarding to our next weekend at the ranch. We need to pick a date and start planning. I love ya!
