Who couldn`t wuv this wittle face???
Mandy has been groomed since this picture was taken and got all her hair cut off for summer, but she`s still cute as a button!
So I go to Cleveland Clinic today for what seems to be - or maybe was - my millionth treatment. I had my bloodwork done as usual and then met with my doctors before my chemo. We start talking and looking over my schedule. I was diagnosed with leukemia in March of 2005. I underwent 7 months of intensive treatment. Then I went on maintenance, which consisted of treatment once a month. This was when my hair started to grow back in. There were some bumps along the way, but eventually I started to look and feel normal again. Maintenance lasts for 18 months.
Guess what?
It`s been 18 months!!!
I officially got my last dose of chemotherapy today.
Give me an AMEN!
Praise the Lord!
Whhoooo - hoooooo!
I have to finish my meds ( one month ) and then I will be off them too. After 2 years and 2 months ( in May, when I will finish all the meds ) - I`m done!
Please take a moment if you`re inclined to do so and pray that the leukemia never ever comes back.
I know there are many throughout J-Land fighting their own battles and I pray that they, too, will have their day when the treatments are done and they are well again.
Thank you for all your prayers, support, and words of encouragement along the way. It means so much.
Love you guys!

That is the best news ever! And I think you deserve a new purse and a trip to Olive Garden for that...wish I was there to take you! Give that gorgeous poochie a big smooch from me.
Mandy looks lovely in the photo and I am sure she is more beautiful since her grooming! My dog Salty needs a bath so if today is warm enough I will fill the water jugs with warm water and tie him to the tree so that I can wash him. He is quite ripe and sleeps next to my bed. It would be difficult to wash him indoors in the winter. I only have a small shower stall and he would then shake all over the kitchen. lol I think it is fantastic that you are done with your leukemia chemo and will be off of the medication! My thoughts and prayers for your continued success with the luekemia never returning. I feel the act of the professor that gave his life blocking the door at Virginia Tech while students escaped was an act of unselfishness. Future warning signs by people threatening acts that can result in murder should be taken seriously. He was clearly drawing attention to himself through his writing of murder. It will be a lesson never forgotten. I have a new artwork entry in my other journal if you would like to view it, mark

I am doing my happy fat girl dance, this is the best news I have heard in weeks, especially with so many in j-land fighting their own battles. Penny, congratulations, now you gotta dance too : ) And praying that it never returns. I wuv that puppy face!!!
