This News Calls for Double Dream Hands

Dr. Moskowitz: "We are very pleased with your scan results."

Me: "Really? That's so awesome! This is such great news. I was freaking out all day!"

Me after I hang up phone: "Holy F*%&!!" (after I triple checked that the phone was disconnected). Then I did an Irish jig and nearly fainted.

Report summary:
  • There is a near complete resolution of the active nodes in my chest
  • My spleen is no longer lighting up
  • The area showing uptake in my upper back is resolved
  • All areas of cancer activity in my bone have "decreased nicely"
In short, all of the areas of cancer activity are much reduced if not eliminated completely. The SGN-35 is working! So, so, so, so thrilled and in shock and awe. It's been a rough couple days of scanticipation, which took its toll physically, emotionally and mentally. Now I'm exhausted, but in the good tired smiling way. I'm looking forward to a real, nightmareless sleep tonight.

Happy. Happy. Happy. As happy as this guy:

  13. Woo Hoo!! Congrats and KEEP BELIEVING. Hey, by the way, that one butterfly move by "dance guy" threw me a bit. Unexpected inserted piece of choreography. Jazz hands could've been a bit stronger too, but that's just me. Maybe a jig is the way to go-- it IS coming up on lucky St. Patty's Day after all. And how great is that?)

    Be well and keep it going!

  14. Amazing, Amazing news, love.
    Not only on the scans, but once again finding your out autonomy, you are so dead on about how important that is -- with having little control over things.

    Here's to new beginnings, squeaky clean scans, uneventuful chemo's and lots more badass moments.

    Sending all my love,
    B
