Excellent news!

Based on the MRI and CT scan, the neurologist is very confident there is no cancer in the skull/brain. He thinks that what is showing up on those pictures is probably Padgett's disease or Fibrous Dysplasia, neither of which really concerned him. In fact he is so confident that he is not proceeding with the biopsy. YAY!

I haven't spoken with the breast care team yet, but I have to assume this means we're back to plan A, surgery and follow up treatment. I never thought I'd be so delighted at the possibility of surgery, but I am. Today's news opens the door again for cure (as opposed to management), so that is what I am focusing on.

I KNOW with every fiber of my body that the good thoughts and prayers that have been coming my way are helpful in every possible way, and I am eternally grateful. There are still many steps in this journey, but I feel truly strong because of the support and love I'm receiving from far and near, so thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

Heading down to Redwood City for our appointments this morning, John and I turned on the radio, and this is the very first song we heard...

Three Little Birds
Rise up this mornin',
Smile with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Each by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', "This is my message to you: "

Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right! "

Bob Marley is RIGHT!!!!!
