Drumroll, please!
I am officially in remission! Whoo hoo, yessssss, whoop whoop, suh-weeeeet, let the adult beverage consumption commence in the legal-age population!
For those who want stats: The residual mass is 2.3 x 5.8 cm--activity is 2.1.
Translation: What's left is considered scar tissue and is essentially dead. (Better it than me!)
Fruit translation: Um, well, I can't think of a fruit with which to make a comparison.
Vegetable translation: A healthy-sized baby carrot.
Dairy translation: Half a stick of string cheese.
Happiness translation: No words. Just relief and gratitude!
Still waiting to hear which machine wins in the Battle of the Radiation Championship. I'm crossing fingers that Proton Beam will carry the day--but I will update once I know for sure.
Wow...Team Andrea has just been the very best. No lie. I can't thank everyone enough for all the thoughts and prayers and everything else!
And now...I think I have a happy dance to be doing!
Such happy news! I'm so glad for you! On the fruit front...I suggest maybe a large date?
ReplyDeleteThank the good Lord!!! Woohoo!!! Happy dance all around. Big, big hugs!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic news!!! I agree, thank the good Lord!! Yayyyyy!
ReplyDeleteAndrea!!!! This is the very best news!!!! You are hilarious with your fruit, vegetable, and dairy comparisons! Wanda Sykes (comedienne) does this but about how the American refusal to learn the metric system forces doctors to talk to us about tumors in the language of fruits...you give her bit a run for its money! I am profoundly thrilled for you; I can only imagine how ecstatic your family is. You have kicked cancer's sorry unwelcome ass to the curb and the trash collectors have hauled it away! YOU ROCK! Your doctors also rock!
ReplyDeleteI know I will think of you when I see baby carrots! 😄😄
With glee and gratitude in a far away Virginian hamlet,
Dana
FANTASTIC!!! HAPPY DANCE, HAPPY DANCE!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFruit translation: half a finger lime?
