So I got the call today from my oncologist about my tests from friday. REALLY good news, my blood work is still normal, and the specialty test says the leukemia is 90% gone! I was so freaking excited that I forgot it was early day at school and forgot to pick up Jo! 
Oh well, there goes my Mother of the Year award... LOL! No harm done. I truly have just been in shock! I only started the Gleevec three months ago, and I am doing so well on it. I am keeping my fingers crossed that when I go back in March, there will be no sign on the chromosone level. I cried and cried when he called. I didn't think this would happen so soon! And with all the problems that I've had on it, plus coming off for a few days here and there. I don't want to sound like a pessimist, but I am still a little worried. You can never really tell with these things, so I don't want to just ride the rainbow just yet. Maybe I just need to let it all sink in first... There have been so many emotions today, it's been a roller coaster. I guess the best thing is for me to continue to pray, do what I'm doing, and it will all work out.

Oh wow - OH WOW!!! Wonderful news!! I am absolutely thrilled to hear this ....
Ride the Rainbow! Rainbows don't happen every day and I think it would be a shame to miss riding even one............ Enjoy the moment, and live with everything you have.... ride the rainbow at every opportunity - without looking for the shadows that might never arrive :)
You know there are many people happy and 'riding the rainbow' right there with you - add me to your list and enjoy the ride!
love and light
