In midst of all the bad economic news, I received very good health news this morning from my oncologist.
The chemo 'marker test' shows my liver tumor has shrunk by 50% since I began chemotherapy in December. YES!!!!

But we all know it's not chemo alone that is making me better. Do you know how much I appreciate all your healing thoughts and prayers???

THANK YOU each, from the bottom of my

Grinning here, that sounds like a good target date to me!!! Now, if Spring would spring itself.
It's VERY COLD here today, but I'm going out to lunch this afternoon to celebrate the good news, and NOTHING can make me frown today.

Grin, thanks friends! Yes, I was not expecting a 50% reduction of the mass this soon, so of course I'm overjoyed.
Again, I felt the healing power of friendship every day from each of you, and know it has been a huge part of my healing success.

namaste to all...

Kacy- It warms my heart to hear such phenominal news. I will toss you into my thought ritual for another 50% decrease.

What would you attempt to do...if you knew you could not fail?

Hey, it's still a battle, but I am improving. After next week's session I will have a week's break, and have another consultation as to the next set of treatments, which might add another layer of powerful drugs, with the hopes of putting this cancer into remission.
I will definitely let you know as soon as I know!
Thanks to everyone here for your continued support and prayers. Jo, that healing necklace is powerful!!! I look at it every single day, and wear it often.

Yesterday I attended a graduation for a young man who'd battled alcoholism and drug addiction for too many years.  Enthusiasm just oozed from him as he said, "Here I stand by the grace of God, without a job and a car that's falling apart.  Yet it's a GREAT day, a WONDERFUL day, a day to smile with deep gratitude, for I am blessed!"

Sounds much like your fantastic attitude.  May God bless your health continuously!

Thanking each one of you for your ongoing support and thoughts. Now that SPRING is here, I hope to regain my strength working in the yard, planting veggies (in containers mostly) and sprinkling wildflower seeds everywhere, planting more perennials with a few annuals, plus laying out a designed bird/butterfly garden, a tiny 'pond' (think kids size plastic pool with a solar recirculating pump and a couple of water plants). And of course, a "van Gogh row" of sunflowers is a top priority!
LOL, I might not get to all of it, but the list keeps me looking forward and focusing on healing myself and providing Gaia's creatures a healthy environment. Nature, philosophy, and poetic friendships sustain me on any 'down' days.

Peace, good health, and love to all of you.

It's such a joy to read your plans for your garden, dear Kacy. The flowers, plants, butterflies and little pond will show you gratitude for surrounding yourself with them and you will feel the healing power of nature!

Good luck with your garden work and plenty of energy and sunshine!

Love and hugs.

Thank you dear Margherita. I've already started a few seeds indoors, and will add fresh compost on the ground next week to give the seeds a healthy kick start.
Once the flowers are up and blooming, I'll take photos to post with a poem.

Kacy, myself and others that haven't been able to chime in because of certain geographical and live life happenings, are all concerned, but praying for a total RECESSION [if there has to be one, let's let it be your cancer, OK?] oh, and OK, yes, I know, that should be remission, but if you think of it....

It still works. You get my drift!

The recession hit me, but I'm not complaining because when the snow isn't falling, I'm out walking the dogs. Both of my feet following the December surgery are doing much better, and I thank you for your prayers on them. God bless your huge heart.

Y'know what, gal?

We're going to see far better times, considering all.

  

Yep, me too.

You got that right, lady Sunshine! LOL at your 'recession/remission' wordplay.
I am so happy that your feet have hit the ground again, that those two 'dogs' can walk the four footed dogs.

Hi, Sue Hope all goes well in your life, that you will have a pleasant Spring. It sure seems to be stalled in many areas.
