We received the best news yet from my surgeon Dr. Matayoshi yesterday....He got all the cancer! The chemo shrunk the lymph nodes to nothing (there were no signs of cancer in them in the pathology)and my breast tumors were small and he got them all. The margins are clean.
Dave and I breathed the deepest sigh of relief in 7 months. I can't stop smiling and neither can he.
The kids come back this afternoon with Dave's mom (in 2 hours). I can't wait. I can't wait to squeeze them and kiss them and smell their great kid smell. A month is a long time.
I'm jamming to some Celia Cruz right now blasting through the house preparing for their return. Just got done watching Juno on pay-per-view. Loved it.
LIFE IS GOOD!

I am so glad to hear the wonderful news. I had no idea that you were going through all of this. I actually ran into Cyndi Traxler the other night and she told me about your fight and this blog. Having viewed some of the pictures on the blog, we may have to move out there!! Again, we are elated!!
Enjoy those kids and keep in touch!

Congratulations!!!! That is awesome news.
I haven't been on your blog for
such a long time and was thinking
of you so much today so went on.
My God, I did not know that you
were going for surgery. I am just
so elated to hear that it is all
over and that you are home free.
This has been such a traumatic
experience but you have handled it
with the utmost stamina of anyone
I know. You are one terrific gal!!
God Bless, should be up hill from
now on. Lots of Aloha, Linda Choy
