Looks good to us!!!! Time to jump for joy and make Dan a pack lunch for his second shift at work today. At least these long hours can keep his thoughts happy! Thank you for the love and support, and the ride to the hospital from my friend Jozann! What an angel she is. I told her to just drop me off but she wouldn't leave me by myself and stayed with us the entire time. Now THAT is a friend. You guys sure know how to support a girl.
Phew!!!! WOOOOEEEEE!!! Now I can stay up all night reading my book about the Lusitania disaster. Hey, we all gotta have ways to celebrate. Ha!
Final results from UCLA should be in a few weeks, but with no obvious regrow, I'm a happy girl!

ReplyDeleteJessica, I have been following your story for a while now. I am so thrilled for you with these current results. You are brave, and honest, two things I really admire. Sorry if I missed it, but what is the documentary you mentioned and where can we look out for it? Hugs to you. Jen
ReplyDeleteOh Jessica, Dan & family what wonderful wonderful news !!!!! We echo the thank you for letting all of us out here know so quickly. Even though we have never met we love & care for you, Dan & your family. We have journeyed the road of a brain tumor so know the agony of waiting to hear the results. The relief is not something one can put in words. It's like everything good in the world wrapped up in one precious gift just for you.
