Yes folks, that was the first thing my oncologist said when he entered the room...Im happy to see that the rest of you knew it all along but I have to admit that Im still sort of in la la land over all of this. He actually used the words "Complete Remission"...WHAT THA????
Romer & I....HE'S THE MAN!!!!
So I still had a round of chemo today, and just one more before I start taking the Xeloda alone. For how long I dont know. Maybe forever? At least until they find a cure (hopefully sooner than later!....that crap is expensive!!)
So back to La La Land. I was still there as I was getting my chemo today, so I asked the nurse for my chart and I started taking pictures of the documents...to convince the skeptics, to convince myself!! So without further ado...
My BIG, FAT, MASSIVE Oncology Chart...
Ok - heres a bad report from the first PET...not good - you might have to click on it to actually read it...
Crummy Progress Report from 7/7/06:
Side view of IMPRESSION...I could take a picture of "No Longer Present" a hundred different ways...
I tried to post another picture of the new PET results (I think I took like 4) but it wont let me. I hope Ive convinced you...I still dont know If I convinced myself!
I dont even know what to say...Can you believe that IM at a frigging loss for words? Who knew? I just dont feel that a simple Thank You is suffice for everything that has been offered to me in the last few months... the free meals, the holy water, the prayers, all the positive energy being sent my way, and lets not forget Jennifer cleaning out our disgusting microwave. It just doesnt seem like theres ever going to be a way to express how grateful I am for everything.
We'll be having a celebratory pint at Haps tonight around 8 or 9 if you want to come out. Of course I cant buy you all a pint, (actually I really cant afford to buy any of you a pint) but if luck is on my side, Ill be happy to jot down some potential winning lottery numbers for you, but thats it.
Im sorry that I havent been as eloquent as I should be at a time like this, but Ill be keeping up with the blog and maybe a few weeks from now when I pull my head out of my you-know-what and I start thinking clearly about what all this means, Ill let you know - until then, thanks, and we'll see ya at Haps tonight and Brimelow tomorrow...(no im not playing...YET)

This is by far the best (and most astonishing)news I have ever heard! And I love to see that "yet" after "I'm not playing!" That means I'll see you on the pitch!
