Share the good news! Celebration!

A few months ago, I posted a blog about my Aunt Cheryl and how she was given one year to live. There was cancer found in the lining of her brain and it was inoperable. She decided to undergo radiation therapy. Then, about a month ago, she was told that she had lost 90% of her kidney function and that kidney failure was going to kill her before the cancer would. Her doctors took her off most of the medication she was on and hoped for the best. Well, I am now proud to say that as of her last PET scan and blood work, there is no signs of cancer in the brain and she is gaining function back in her kidneys! The doctor said that her "death sentence" has been lifted! This is the best news I've received in a long time. It seemed like everytime she went into her doctor's office during the past 2 or 3 months, she was receiving bad news about her condition. And although the doctor told her that the specific chemotherapy she has to take for the cancer is running out, it doesn't matter because she now has longer than 1 year to live! BEST NEWS I'VE RECEIVED ALL WEEK!!!!
