Oh what a happy day. Â I love Easter. Â It’s my favorite of all the days of the year.
This one is especially sweet as I got my test results back and I am cancer free as of now!! Â As with anyone who has had cancer there is always a risk of re-occurrence…but my doctor explains that each check I have that comes back clear increases the chances the it won’t return.
My blood test wasn’t in yet so there might be something that shows up there- but, the thought is now, that it’s all okay.
There still is a question about a lymph node in my neck on the right that was slightly enlarged when I had the ultrasound. Â We think at this point that it is likely because I had a cold at the time of the ultrasound. Â I will have to have another ultrasound and blood work up this fall but I’m okay with that. Â No diet and no shots this next time around. Â That will be awesome to not be driving back and forth to Lacrosse…just one trip.
So after that…FOOD. Â Glorious food with salt in it for me…and I had an expresso…It was awesome!!
On the way to the appointment we had stopped at the convenience store…here’s what Hubby got.
Yummy junk food….me, I got this!I shouldn’t complain as they actually had something I can eat. Â I’m going to keep in mind that good food can be found at this particular convenience store and for the most part, I prefer the healthy stuff. Â It’s so much harder to remember that when I can’t make the other choices because of the diet I still had to be on.
Once the doctor freed me….a roast beef feta sandwich on a pretzel bun…YUM. Â A sandwich never tasted so good!!
Lots of this happened on the trip over….
No more Mississippi River bridge for me for a bit. Â I am so happy!!
Over the last 7 months I’ve lost 24 pounds. Â I don’t really know how it’s happened. Â I don’t know that I’ve been trying to do anything special…just being a little more conscientious but not with the hope to weigh less…more with the hope to keep my blood sugar in control. Â My hope is that I can keep it off. Â I don’t care if more comes off, but I sure would like to stay here….
So as fun as it was to food indulge for a day or two, I need to get things settled down and back to watching things…..
Thanks so much to all of you for the thoughts, prayers and well wishes. Â They were so appreciated by both Hubby and I. Â As I came out of the scan room, I found him reading all of the comments you left here on the blog. Â Reading them really made him feel good too. Â Thanks for that. Â Thanks for being there for him too.
So very pleased for you!! That’s wonderful news!!

What a wonderful report! So glad to hear it.
I, too, got a good report from my oncologist this week. Happiness is the oncologist’s office in your review view mirror.
Christ is risen! A great day for many reasons.
That’s wonderful news! Your roast beef and feta roll looks absolutely delicious. I’m inspired by your weight loss; I’m challenging myself to eat less sugar.
What wonderful news! You are such an inspiration. I wish I accomplished half of what you do.
Yes, it is a happy day for many reasons! thought about you several times yesterday when i didn’t find any comments about the LaX visit so I was joyful to read about the good news today. Enjoy your favorite day and it was so so springlike too.
Jo and Hubby,
