I just wanted to let my friends here on the ocf know that I recieved a clear scan on Sept. 18th. I got the results on the 25th. It stated that all uptake in the neck area had been resolved. It was also clear down to my knees. whew. Finally after all of the stress about not going ahead with the neck dissection, it turned out ok. I guess it was just inflammation.

I just want to thank everyone for their wonderful prayers and words of encouragement. I haven't been here much. I guess I have been very active since July. I guess it's back to life. I know one thing it has been back to work since Sept. 3rd. Hmmm.

Everyone says "I bet you are glad to be back at work." I really have trouble answering that. I am extremely grateful to be alive with the stage of cancer I had, and extremely grateful to be healthy enough to return to work, but boy did I get used to living on my own time. I'm sure this is true for many though. I guess it is just hard to go back to worrying about the little things. After fighting this battle most things seem to be little. Life, children, family and friends are the big things. I hope everyone is doing well. For those who have passed on or have loved ones or friends who have passed, you are in my prayers and thoughts.
