Today we received the results of my recent scan: Clean! No growth of the pancreatic tumor, and no spots showing up anywhere else...
It's the best possible outcome (though ANY other outcome would be the worst possible), and needless to say we are VERY pleased and relieved. The past week has been strange, I've been a bit numb as I awaited today's news, not worried so much as cautious, afraid to be too optimistic in case the worst was revealed...
The mental game is the hardest part of this new life I am leading... I feel healthy, I continue to follow pretty strict dietary and naturopathic practices, so I feel I am doing almost everything I can to fend this off.. but, I am not quite able to believe that I am cured.
So on we go... next scan late January!

Thanks for working so hard at this Prifti. Clearly it's working. Keep it up cause I want you to be telling me jokes when we are eighty. I'll need jokes since I will be miserable without any teeth by then. Now I am going out for a walk to make sure I make it there too!

My new favorite quote, from E.L. Doctorow:
"Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way."
YEAH! Great news, He Man!
