NED!-No Evidence Of disease

So, some of you know that I recently had a PET scan. Today I got my results. There is no evidence of disease. I am in remission! I still get to do chemo to keep me in remission, and when I am ready to I can take a couple of months break from the taxol, but they will keep me on the avastin. They will increase the amount of avastin, and of course I will continue to take zometa to strengthen my bones. So, it isn't a total break, but instead of three weeks on one week off, it would be once a month. So, for a few months this Spring and Summer I will take a break. YAY! The chances of the cancer reoccuring in the same spots I already have it are pretty great, But I am praying for a looooong remission!!

Great news!!!!!

What do I think of bucket lists?

Well hello there my dear friends,
It has sure been a while since I have written a post, or filmed a Youtube video.  I believe the last time I uploaded was in May during a visit to the Chicago museum of art. That was one of the Most lovely times I have enjoyed with my whole family.  It was an amazing time, My daughter graduated from Uni. at Loyola in the morning, my son was here with his future wife visiting for the occasion.  So after the graduation we set forth and took on the city of Chicago, going to the Museum, walking in the park, enjoying the best food the city had to offer.  It was a blast.  An incredible memory and one of the few items I have on my bucket list.  Many people have ideas about travel or sky diving or even some thing simple like Disney.
Those have never been my bucket items.  From the  moment I found out I had  mets bc, I knew my bucket list would only have a few items.  Enduring ones non the less.
I wanted to see my daughter graduate from University.
