Why is it your imagination goes haywire every time these scans are done, it should get easier as the months and years go by shouldn`t it? It just seems like yesterday that we were in the middle of all the drama that treatment brings. To all of you who are currently going through it all , Hang in there, it won`t be too long until you are posting your clear test results.
Take Care Y`all Marica

I'm sure you are both so relieved. I know exactly what you mean about the "drama" of going through treatment. For my husand and me, it's only been 3 months since he finished treatment and it seems like yesterday. That was a "hell" I hope we never have to go through again... Isn't it amazing how strong we can be emotionally when we have to? I am so happy for you two, go out and celebrate!!
Hugs,
