Some of you who know me already will know that our Lily has been undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer this fall. We've had a really challenging year.
Lily had her last chemo session the weekend before Thanksgiving, and had a cat scan on December 12th. We arranged a conference call with her doctor today so that her Dad & I and Lily could all talk to him together, and he told us that her scans were all normal. Normal.
It's simply the best possible news we could have. A tremendous and welcome gift.
Our heartfelt thanks to all our friends and family who have offered up prayers, white light and good wishes. Love to you all.
Hi Melissa,
ReplyDeleteI checked out your blog since I'm the ring owner for Spindlicity's web ring. I myself survived ovarian cancer over 27 years ago, and I am so happy at the wonderful gift you've all been given this holiday season. Blessings to you and your family, I am very happy for you. Even though we haven't met before, there is some kind of bond among fiber people and we all feel happy when one of our "tribe" gets good news like this.
Congratulations to you and to Lily.
