I've got good news, and good news.

Did I mention good news?

First, I stopped at CVS on my way home from the airport to buy my chemo nurse a card and gift... let that marinate for a minute.

Tomorrow could be my last chemo.  I can't even believe this is a possibility, nor that I am actually EXCITED about the prospects of horrible chemo tomorrow, but I can't emphasize how much I want to be done with this.  Pray that my platelets come through for me.

But that's not even the best news.

I had my MRI last Tuesday.  I checked my email on Friday evening as I was at the eye doctor, and saw that I had new results.  I held my breath and logged in.

"...there are 2 biopsy clips within the posterior upper-outer left breast at the 2:00 and 3:00 axis from prior biopsies... There is no abnormal enhancement of the biopsy clips, with likely resolution of reported masses seen on previous MRI... There is no suspicious enhancing mass or non-mass enhancement in either breast."

DID YOU READ THAT RIGHT??!!  Read it again!  Or better yet, let's skip to the Conclusion!

"Conclusion: No enhancing masses within the left breast with presumed resolution of previously reported enhancing masses from prior MRI, and likely secondary to treatment response."

This horrible, horrendous, awful cancer appears to have DONE ITS JOB!!!!!!!!!

I meet with my oncologist tomorrow to talk about this, and I meet with my surgical oncologist next Monday to talk surgical recommendations.  I still have my last chemo as far as I know.  I still have surgery next month.  I still have antibody infusions every three weeks until August.  BUT ACCORDING TO THE MRI, I DO NOT STILL HAVE TUMORS.


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

My actual face after reading this report and composing myself.

I also won an award yesterday for my work in the diversity and inclusion space at work.  It has been a really, really good week.
