Yesterday was oncology day and my results are in. The bottom line is that my doctor is pleased that there is no new growth and there are no new tumors. There is no way to tell if the remaining 'stuff' is dead or live cancer cells and it may, in fact, be scar tissue. For now, I will go every six weeks for maintenance of my port and every twelve weeks for labs and a check up. While it isn't exactly what I had hoped for (remission), it's not bad. In other exciting news, I am still gaining weight. Thanks to cootie drugs, I have now gained 80 pounds. I am not sure when this will end, but pretty soon we're going to need to put in double doors...

I haven't even been on "cootie drugs" and I'm headed for not only the double doors but the titanium furniture. You are just too adorable and you always have such a great outlook. I love you and I think the news is OK news. After all OK is now probably the best it gets sometimes after what we've experienced. Love to you. Robin

No growth and no new tumors....that is good news !! The rest is probably just scar tissue. As far as the weight gain.....I have done nothing but gain and I don't have the cootie drugs to blame....only myself ! But you look beautiful !!
Love, Kim

When I read your journal, I thought you wrote, cootie "dogs!" Couldn't imagine what a cootie dog was, but I made up my mind there and then, I don't want anything to do with those. In fact it almost swore me off HOT DOGS!!! Too funny. So glad you had such good news to report. Maybe the COOTIE DOGS gave you the bad knees!! Take care. Love, Dawn

I love you, Barb! You look beautiful in your profile picture. Well, maybe not as beautiful as when you held me, as we cried together, on the Maid of the MIst, but close. Bye bye cooties. Memories, never to forget. I hope you are so healthy next year that you need a king size bed all to yourself. Love, Belinda

Barbara you are too funny! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you will continue to get the news of no "new stuff". I hope you are having a good day ... and don't worry about the weight thing. I tell people I still haven't lost all my weight from having a baby girl.... then they say "oh how old is she" ? I have to tell them the truth ...... 19 years old! LOL

Cootie Drugs suck. Welcome to the world of vertically challenged, differently sized people. If those cooties even try to come back remind them of what happened the last time. Remission is still remission. Love ya
