Today I saw the oncologist, the team leader; the one who never smiles unless she has something to smile about.
She was smiling.
The cancer is at the same level it was when I last came in for a check-up. It’s not gone and never will be, but for the time being, it has stabilised. This is a win.
There are no guarantees, of course, but really––are there ever?

That’s great news Pat. My scan came back the same.
Terrific news, Jools! Good for both of us!
You keep it awed and tamed my dear Pat C. This is very happy news 😀 ❤
Thanks, sweetie!
Excellent! Cancer is a bitch but if you’re feeling OK and it’s stable, that’s GREAT NEWS!!!
As my oncologist said, “We can’t get rid of it but it’s possible to live with it.”
If that’s the best I can get, I’ll take it!
bravissssimmmmaaa!!!! So happy for you!
Thank you! I celebrated by riding the bus home with Chris and spending all afternoon working on the sushi novel.
Pat, the reprieve is a Good Thing. I’m glad for you.
Thank you, David. While I had the bad luck to be one of the small percentage of women who experience a recurrence, I’m lucky enough to have achieved a stage where I can live with my cancer without feeling a lot of ill effects.

Okay, I don’t know why my reply to saaremartha came out in two different places, and I can’t get rid of the extra. Software baffles me.
Way to go, Pat!
Thanks, Sherry! Now pardon me while I turn on the fan and deal with this hot flash…. 😉
Hooray! Very good tidings indeed.
Thanks so much!
I’m so glad to hear this, Pat! You are so deserving of a reprieve and to learn that you have one is so heartening! Keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll beat it into submission!
Positivity, positive imagery and much love heading your way…
Thanks so much for your good words!
YES!
That’s what I said!
