I hope once it sinks in you will feel happy about the result and be able to celebrate in some way. So sorry that you have so much other stuff going on that has put a damper on this for you.

Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 875 | WONDERFUL NEWS ANGELIA. I think your RO's nurse is special to have taken the time to find out your results so soon and tell you so you could breath a sigh of relief. This great news should outweigh any other problems you mentioned - you are cancer free!!!!! Be Happy, the other stuff will get resolved eventually. Smile  julieann
