That monster in her brain shrunk enough to be termed remission! The nerve of that cancer, thinking it could mess with our Cathie, lol. With all her chemo and radiation treatments, that gal has been through hell. During this, she went through a divorce of sorts from a man she was devoted to for 17 years, but he was devoted to himself, and traded her in for a new and younger model. Even though the other woman is a dog, but I digress. Through it all, Cat never lost her sense of humor or her compassion for others. This is one brave woman, with a heart of gold. I can't even imagine my life without you, Cat.

I am so happy to hear this Cathie, I knew you would beat this because of your positive spirit, positive outlook, and your fighting spirit. :D You are one of the strongest, and most amazing people Iv'e ever known, and I admire you so much for your courage in this last year or so. While most people cry and whine about the smallest of issues, you've had your humor, and your positive attitude all the way through. If there were more people like you, this world would be such a better place. I love you so much Cathie, and am going to celebrate this momentous occasion by saying a half hour long prayer of thanksgiving for you tonight. I'm so happy for you, and I love you with all my heart!!! :heart: :heart: :heart:

Thanks so much everyone! I swear I did it with the help, love and support of you guys. I may no longer have a family in "real life", but I still have my family here!

I still have a tumour, and probably always will, but for now, it has shrunk enough that it's not compressing stuff and they feel they've caught the cancer. I'll need to go in every three months to have it checked. If it's all clear for a year they consider it "cancer free".

I'm still having some seizures but they tend to be milder than they were. They figure they will stop as everything heals. I'm getting some headaches, but they're different than before and are probably more because I'm trying to quit smoking now. lol

Thanks again to everyone (too many to mention) for their love and support!! And a special thanks to Janice for hours of conversation and allowing me to sob in her ear - long distance yet!

And so nice to see you came over Billie!! I know I owe you and Leigh a reply - haven't forgotten - just got busy and sidetracked (last weekend was a long weekend here - like your Memorial Day coming up this weekend).

That is so sad what's happened to TripperFan. I almost forgot that she was having major medical issues. That's MAJOR medical issues!!!! And that is so sad that her husband didn't care about her when she needed it most. :crying:

But it's GREAT news that she's getting better, and let's keep on praying for her!!! :D :rock:
