i met with my oncologist this morning and he was very pleased with the results of all my tests. the MRI showed that all traces of cancer were gone from my lymph nodes and the tumor has shrunk so much it is hard to see. this was of course great news. he also said i could have my port removed if my surgeon and i wanted to do that. he said he is 99% sure i won't need chemo again. i am so excited about this, although part of me (probably the enemy) is a little fearful of getting my hopes up like this, only to one day face all this again. i am trying to give all that to god, but sometimes i weaken and the thoughts come in. i do believe though that i know if it comes up again i will have the strength to fight again just like this time. the lord has led me through this and he can do it again. i am believing though that this is it. i meet dr. ackerman tomorrow. i will learn more details about radiation. love, jennifer
