Laurie I really hope your tests go well. Having that C hanging over you is no picnic and a reprieve is so prayed for for you.

Poked, prodded, and made to glow in the dark once again..... The verdict?  Another reprieve, no cancer was found! Come back in three months.
  Also of note is that I was correctly gendered by everyone.  There was one man that I caught looking at me... I just gave him the smile, watched him shake his head and continued on his way. No problem for me and I don't care what he thought

Hugs,

That's great news Laurie, I really get anxious as March roles around every year for my yearly results and follow up. It's great to get a clean one, I remember when I was doing my 3 month dr appointment and how I dreaded them. Went to 6 months and then yearly. It's great now 11 years down the road. Best wishes on clear tests from here on out.

YEAH LAURIE! Another good thing happening to you! So glad to hear nothing was found.

I am bit worried about the "glow in the dark" - Wouldn't this make you easier to be found by the honey badgers?

Hope you can celebrate tonight! So many things to celebrate for you :-)

Enjoy your visitor!!

Hugs, Sarah

That's wonderful news Laurie. So happy you have been given the all clear. What a relief it must be for you following the build up of wondering what the results will be every 3 months. Now you can relax and enjoy the company of your visitor.

And nice going with the way you handled the guy lo king at you. No reaction other than a simple smile is the best thing you can do with these kinds of people. That forces him to be all alone with his little mind and thoughts.

Thanks Davina. Nope wasn't the buttered chicken I haven't attempted it yet. If "she" doesn't behave I have a freezer top for her.

And I'll thank you also Sarah. I've gotten used to the glowing in the dark. It just means we won't need a night light tonight.  It will fade in a day or so.

Thank you Donna. So you are a survivor yourself I see. I have had it 3 times so far. It has been 3 yrs 9 months since the last go around. They have told me I was going to die in months twice now. I'm still here. But yes it is a bit of a deal having to wonder every 3 months. There is an element of anxiety for sure.

   Thank you also to Tia Anne and Deb. Also another thanks to Sephira. I will also thank those that read and cheer me on silently. All of your well wishes and prayers for me are welcome and appreciated..

Yes Laurie I do feel for you from personal experience. They missed some during my surgery in 2007 and I ended up with 48 targeted radiation treatments ( as a Christmas present December 2007 to February 2008) and that seemed to take care of it. Been monitoring ever since.
Thought it jumped to my thyroid in 2013 but the tumor was benign and they just removed all of the right side of the thyroid. 2016 thyroid kicked in again but turned out to be a cyst only.
Currently on my third round of antibiotics and 6 weeks with a bladder infection. That's how it started in 2007. Sick for a year and lost 65 pounds that time.
I'm just not feeling sick so it has to be something unrelated, can't worry about it until the doc makes me worry.

  Michelle my belle has left me alone once again. It was wonderful having her here and showing with highlights of meeting and RobynD and friends. Michelle got to see a good sampling of Oregon scenery. Not once did she complain of my breakfasts I served her with the exception of the quantities. Last night we dined at Rudy's in Salem where we shared the entries of a nice ribeye steak and elk chops. Both were delicious and we share a desert of a Marion berry crisp with vanilla ice cream.
  After another nice evening at home we got up and had an omelet breakfast of chorizo/ green onion/ red and yellow bell pepper/ and habanero cheddar cheese. Topped with salted tomato and shredded cheese with a sprinkling of chipolti tobasco sauce. One the side were fried diced taters with rosemary, onion and garlic. Yes she again complained about the quantity of food mumbling some nonsense about trying to make he fat so umm ahh uh something else will grow too. I failed to see the issue she was trying to express.

  Anyway here I am all alone once again.

Hugs,
  Laurie

I thought it was the law in America to have giant portions of things. :) Every TV show I've seen reinforces that. If you can eat it in less than 30 minutes, and without a shovel, then it's not big enough and you could go to jail for like 10 years. ;)

I might add.... I did detect a certain amount of encouragement for Michelle to eat more during our Skype conversation whilst she was having diner...I guess the industrial size parmesan cheese was a bit of a give away LOL...I think you might have been a bit lucky to get away with only 6 Michelle!! :D

  I couldn't let her go hungry could I? Besides, I think she enjoyed being cooked for, for a change. I sure didn't hear her complaining. Even when I had my ears in. (hearing aids)  It could be she didn't get her 10k steps in each day. I got more steps in (and other exercise) while she was here than I usually do. I slept most of the day yesterday to catch up on my rest. It was hard work keeping up with her but well worth the effort.

Hugs,

Honey Badgers care only about badger chow and tracking Laurie.  And Laurie has learned the secret to sooth them also with her gourmet cooking.
How were you able to trick them into leaving their larder and prey.
I know....belly rubs!
