again

Hugs and tears with my Nurse Practitioner in the office today.  Of joy!!!

The final word from the radiologist:

The tumor shrunk by 25%.  What does it mean?  It has the potential to keep shrinking into nothing, to potentially cure me.  Or it could start growing again.  But today I have forgot how to doubt.
Today this is my cure and September is before me.

Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers.  Our God is a God of miracles.  I am one lucky and undeserving girl.
