I was supposed to go to the infusion center last Friday for a Procrit shot but I forgot. I drove in first thing this morning and while I was there, ended up seeing Dr. Lloyd. He asked if he had called me with a report from my PET/CT scan. I said, "Yes, you did. Thank you." He said, "It was a VERY good report, Cheryl. All the areas that showed active cancer on your last scan are now inactive." I asked, "Does that mean that now I can technically say I'm in remission?" He said, "Yes." I told him, "I never expected anything less." He laughed and said, "I like your confidence."

I shed a few tears of gratitude in the car as I left the medical center. Not a bad way to start the week. Of course, he didn't say, "Let's forget the two other infusions I had planned for you."  I have one scheduled this Thursday.

I've held unwavering faith that this would come to pass. Is it a miracle? All of life is a miracle. I bless everything and everyone that has come into my life. Life is too short to waste energy thinking negative things about people or circumstances. Like attracts like. Negative energy creates more of itself. Positive energy creates more of itself. Love creates love. We are all connected. The things that irritate me or anger me in other people are the things I turn a blind eye to in myself. Life is a mirror. I don't know that I'd make all the same choices (in fact, I'm sure of a few instances where I definitely would choose differently) but I embrace it all and appreciate the place I am in right now.
