Today is Mom's first ct in almost 4 months..
Last one was unremarkable and still showing NED (no evidence of disease) in peritoneal cavity.
Praying today shows the same, and the good days continue to outweigh the bad ones. It's been 18 months since she's been kicking cancer's bum and hoping for many more.
Months ago I would have waited around the hospital all day waiting on a report as time stood still.
But not today..
Last weekend was the first time in over a year my mom had driven a car, no longer fogged down by pain medications and feeling a new clarity she hadn't felt in some time.
As we talked for hours, she told me how she had allowed fear of the unknown to dictate every move she made.
Well, Not anymore!!!
No more waiting on cancer to live our lives, so today we'll go home right after the test, she'll continue driving, living, enjoying our weekends, and praying that this Monday is as unremarkable as all the others have been.
So the wait may have begun, but we won't give it a second thought or let it own us a moment longer especially while we drive home, lay in the sun or grill with family & friends this weekend:-)
