Snuggs09: So happy for you and Phyllis. She can drive her new car like there's a tomorrow cause now she knows there are many tomorrows.....
Yes, there are! And many drives we'll get to take together in that new convertible!
And thank you, everyone so far. I'll let her know when I talk to her later tonight that you're all happy for her. She knew that I posted the thread when she was diagnosed, and was glad for everyone's prayers. I know she won't be surprised or offended that I posted the happy news, and will be glad to hear that you're all happy for her.
It feels good to help friends. And it makes me feel even better about what I'm planning on doing for the future. The more people like her I can help with their battles to manage or beat diseases or take control of their health to prevent them, or even manage pain, the better I feel.
Bentlee: Hi Dru. . . so do tell what the celebration will be with the news. Glad you live close. :)
No clue yet. She was still just telling everyone and absorbing it when I last spoke to her. Time to call her and find that out, Bentlee.
I'm glad that we live close, too. And we are close. She was there for me through Gene's cancer and death, and through everything since then. It's been nice to be able to repay that, though I wish it hadn't been because of another bout with cancer.

She had her first cheeseburger in two months. And her last for another two months. (That's when they'll be testing her again.)
Btw, I also found out that when this started her doctor said her medication would start working in two months, and that it causes weight gain (excess weight is bad for cancer). Instead, in two months her cancer is almost gone and she's lost 14 pounds. We're certainly doing something right.
Still doing happy dances.
And she said to tell you all thank you for thinking of her and for being so happy for her. And also, to those of you who have kept her in your prayers, she says thank you.
If you met her, you guys would love her. She's a wonderful gal...and very upbeat, fun and funny, too. I think I'll keep her for a bit longer. Think that's a good idea?
(Sorry...it's getting late, and I'm getting cheesy. 'Night all. )
