I have one area of cancer activity in the right groin but it is OK for now. There is activity in the left hip but is more likely related to the arthritis and and pinched nerve than being from the cancer, the same with a bit in the spine area that is low. So, that puts all tests in a stable condition, not remission but low activity so not going to do chemo or radiation or anything other than the pain patches and a pill if I need it for now. Lowered the steroid from 3 pills to2 pills. I will go once a month for my bone shot and blood work but the doc and I feel this is nothing but good news for a while! Doing a happy dance but not much so I don't fall!!

Thank you, there is no remission for this, I will live with it in me till my time is done but I will also stay and fight for as long as I can. I try to stay optimistic but I have days when I know the end will come.

Lord, that is good news! Debra, how about you just sit on a chair and tap your feet. I don't think I could stand to hear you danced your way to the floor and broke something! ;)

I will only dance in my head, too many times I have almost fallen just walking and the doctors tell me to be very careful. Humpty Dumpty can't put my hips or ribs back together again.

Pleased as punch. I had almost 2 years between the cancer business, it was not in remission, it won't be but it is still considered lung cancer though it moved to my bones.

Debra, I've been thinking about you, praying for you, and hoping for good reports! I admire your attitude, though I know it has to be tough to keep it going! Stay strong mentally to pull up the physical parts, and dance all you want to "mentally", but don't you dare fall!! :)
Hugs, Angel

Thank you Sarah, it is always nice to have your best wishes coming to me. I do the happy dance only in my head but I really must slow down, all the doctors tell me to rest but I just can't sit still long enough. Even embroidery, I am constantly getting up for this or that cause I am not organized. Come help me, LOL!!

I am doing pretty good, pain is easing just that pinched nerve is annoying but not so much pain. Wore out lately and I slept a lot of hours the last couple of days so I needed the rest I think.

Thanks Judy, for sure only in our minds and hearts. Hubby and I seem to be coming down with something. Raspy throats and all that but we will get through it. I think just colds from being run down.

Thank you, if the acupuncture doc gets this nerve to let loose I will be great, I am not in pain and I have cut the steroid back to 2 a day and last night decided to lower my pain patch dose and see if I get pain or not so I can ease off some of this stuff. So far so good!
