What do you say........

Euphoric

That's a pretty big word, but as I sit here and type this post I think it most accurately describes the feeling I have at this moment.  I almost don't know what else to say or what to do with myself.  This disease has consumed my life for the past eight and half months with such a strong and definite presence, its hard to believe that it is gone.

Just the same ole, same ole

I waited around yesterday Monday April 18th expecting to get the news of the pathology from the surgeons office and was disappointed when I didn't get the call.  So, today I went out and on the with my day as usual.  I took Brady to school, took something to Kevin at school and headed home.  When I got home Pat was up and I completely forgot that I meant to go to the store first (chemo brain), so I went back out.  Of course this would be the time when the nurse Jennifer from the surgeons office would call me.  I was standing in the checkout line at the Winn Dixie when I saw her number calling.  Well, I wasn't gonna not answer it, but was worried about how it would all pan out if it was bad news and I was there getting groceries all alone.  Jennifer told me the glorious news, no evidence of metastatic breast cancer and that the two lymph nodes they took were cancer free!!!  I started crying, Jennifer was crying and she said times like this are what she loves about her job.  Well, remember I wasn't alone......the Winn Dixie employees (many of whom I know by face) were all quite concerned as I was standing at the checkout crying, I told them the news and they all applauded.  Funny, it was just life going on as it always has.

I called Pat from the checkout line with the good news and he was so very happy.  I loaded up the food and got home to my husband at the front door with the biggest smile on his face.  We are just still in disbelief.  The only thing that will make me even happier is to see and tell my kids this afternoon.  I thank you all and love you all for your support and prayers. I could not have done it without all of you.
