Family and Fantastic News

I thought I would do something a little different 
and post some pictures.
Usually most of my pictures go on my private family blog,
but I am in love with the way these pictures turned out,
 so I wanted to share them.





I also wanted to share some fantastic news.
I had an MRI a few weeks ago in preparation for surgery 
and to make sure there are still no signs of cancer.

Results:
No interval change compared to 10/14/2015
 BENIGN FINDINGS: Routine follow up recommended.

AND

Last week I had a follow-up ultrasound of my thyroid.
I meet with the doctor today.

Results:
Heterogeneous left thyroid lobe nodule, unchanged. This has
been biopsied previously. No significant interval change.

I can finally breath again.

I don't think I will ever be able to put into words the worry, stress and anxiety 
I experience with every aspect of having tests done.
Waiting for the appointment day to get here;
Being in the actual room having the procedure done;
And then the waiting.
I really try not to worry but ultimately I do - a lot.

But for now everything is stable and there is no evidence of disease.
I am more thankful and grateful than I could ever express.
