the better news is that neither the resident, or the oncologist could find my tumor today!!!!! they literally could not find anything to measure :) it means the chemo combo they picked has certainly done it's job. i still have to have surgery and the scheduled chemo after to kick anything else out, but this is really good news :) and it means the chance of recurrence goes down, too. though no one can really give numbers on that. in any event, it's good :)
so here's my crazy june schedule: breast mri on the 11th, pre-op appt with cancer surgeon on the 15th, pre-op appt with plastic surgeon on the 18th, shoulder mri on the 18th (for what they assure me is unrelated pain), sentinel node procedure on the 24th, and surgery on the 25th. oh yeah, and i have to do final tests and report cards for my kids and close down my classroom by the 17th. that shouldn't be too hard ;)
yay for no more tumor! or at least nothing but a tiny tumor! i'm feeling much sunnier now. thank you all for sending your good vibes my way. hopefully they'll keep the pity party from returning :) and would you people comment for goodness sake???? i feel like i'm only writing to my mom, and peggy and mikaely- is anyone else out there???? not that i don't love you ladies, but i could update you just as easily in a little email :) and uncle lloyd- i love you :)

SO happy to hear this great news, Meredith!! Here's to nothing but good news from here on out!!
Way to go!
I love how hard you are kicking cancer's ass. So excited for you- at least now when you are miserable you know it is for a reason-
IT IS WORKING.... not that knowing these things makes misery much more enjoyable but misery for a purpose is always better.
Keep doing what you are doing- clearly it is working
WOOO HOOO
Hi Meredith. It's Carla's friend Boe here, responding to your directive to leave comments. Hallelujah, the tumor is gone. Thank God! Amen. Ahhhhh!
I am here! So happy to hear that things are going your way. I have been keeping up and I promise to talk back to you.
You are more than entitled to have a pity party. Maybe instead of hugs, massages will come your way :) I'm glad the chemo is working. Keep up your spirits. We are thinking of you.
it's Lori, I am new at this and don't entirely know what I am doing. Forgive me?
I love you too, dear heart. And this great news about the vanishing tumor has me happy past the point of tears. At last i know what laughing and crying is all about :-)

I read every word you write, Mer, but sometimes I have trouble with the comments window not popping up. Rest assured, we're all doing the happy dance here in Missouri. :)
