After a series of tests, I have some good news to share! My surgeon said that my response to treatment is "phenomenal", and that I will start on a clinical trial for a "watch and wait" approach (you can look this up online for more info). This would consist of close monitoring (MRI, CT scans, scope, etc) every 3 months. This is probably the best outcome that I could have hoped for! They say there's about a 75% chance that it won't come back!! I'll take that win! I'm not in the clear, by any means, but I'm going in the right direction, and I'm so happy. I will cautiously be watching and waiting (and hoping and praying) that it doesn't come back or spread to other organs. I believe that what I've been doing, combined with everyone's love and support (and positive energy), is why I'm in this position now. All of the love that surrounds me, is unbelievable..I am so lucky. I want to be excited and happy, but I'm also a bit scared to be overly happy (or celebrate too much), in case something goes wrong. My therapist says that it will take me a while to get over this trauma. I can't wait for the day when I am no longer afraid, and I can live my life. I will celebrate this win, and I look forward to changing that 75% chance to a 99% one day. I believe in my heart that I will continue to improve day by day, and one day I will be free again.
