Blessings

I am still wandering in the woods with these cancers. I think I see a small clearing ahead.

My blessings include what my oncologist called a perfect CT scan. All my lymph nodes, lungs, organs and bones are normal.
My mammogram was normal.
My blood panel was normal.
My radiologist exam of my skin and treated tissue was normal.

I start my next chemo Friday Oct 2. That gives me time to recover and attend the Australian Cattle Dog National Specialty in Belton, TX. I am so excited about seeing the friends, the old dogs and the new pups.

I so wish I were competing in the herding trials. As it is, I wont have the stamina to help. I think the sheep and cattle will be great trial stock that will allow people to show their dog's talent and training.

It has been an intense 14 months. My doctors have observed that they were not confident we would be at this point a year ago. I feel like the star student. Apparently I have had what they call a complete response to treatment. I will always be checking and being scanned for new tumors. Cancer is with me.

I am truly blessed with love, family, friends, doctors, dogs and good luck.
