We did it! Scans came back with no changes to the baseline (i.e., cancer has not increased from the seven weeks ago when I finished chemo....generally accepted as a good thing). I will have one more scan in three weeks..or maybe six weeks? (Jack if you are reading, can you post and confirm?) If that scan is all good, then scans will only be every three MONTHS. Hooray!!

And my lovely friend and nurse Dawn gave me the most wonderful little gift -- she had her whole family put good wishes and love into a beautiful orange (my favorite!) and yellow glass heart, that is currently living on my windowsill where sunlight (if we had some) will stream through it.

Thanks for all of your good thoughts and wishes -- love you all!
