Finally...I Can Breathe

I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to update. The day started off great! A lady from my insurance company called to tell me that they would cover MD Anderson! It was such a relief. I was in Panera with my mom eating lunch and I could hardly eat because I was so excited! After the good news I was feeling all happy with myself. My appointment with the doctor was at 12:30 and we waited and waited and waited. I couldn't decide if I wanted to scream or cry or laugh because I was so tired of sitting waiting for my name to be called. The nurse finally called us back about 2:45 and we had to go through the normal routine of pointless chit chat. Finally I stopped her and said, "I can't wait any longer! Please, please get the doctor and tell me the results of my scan!" About 3 hours after my appointment time, the doctor finally gave us the news. The cancer hasn't spread to any of my other organs. This is what we have all prayed for. I knew that the cancer had returned but we weren't sure if it had spread. The doctor said that the cancer has formed into a mass but the pet scan was unable to determine the size of it. So....even though this is awful, it's the best that I could have wished for. We are going to Houston Monday and will be gone for the week. It's going to be busy but I am anxious to get there and get started. We've planned a little shopping trip and a couple of restaurants that I would like to try if I feel up to it. I figured we could make the best out of a bad situation. I'm looking forward to the week ahead. Allie is going with us so we can all be together and we got a house sitter to take care of things here. Hopefully I wont think of anything else to worry about between now and then.  Thank you all so much for praying!
