While I am fairly new to this form of quilt chatting, I am slowly finding my way around the topics. And since this is a non-quilting talk section, I want to share my happiness of today's events. Following surgery in December, today was my last day of radiation treatments for breast cancer! I am so relieved it is finally over and pray that the five-year plan of medications will keep me cancer free so I can continue to quilt every day. My dh is even talking to our dog saying, Isn't this a good day, momma doesn't have to take any more treatments. And then he lets out a big sigh. lol So, my new chatting friends, thank you for letting me shout it from the roof tops............and may all those other women who have breast cancer keep a positive attitude and have the good fortune that I have had.

WOO HOO Good for you :thumbup: And you should definitely be shouting for all to hear !
Your quilts are beautiful :mrgreen:

Wishing you good health for now and forever!

I am so pleased to hear that your treatments are over.
You have much to celebrate.

These kind of experiences make us appreciate and treasure each day we have. My old college roommate just successfully finished chemo treatments and I am delighted for her as well.

Fabulous news, Welcome to our little corner of the world.

Your work is gorgeous. I love all those Linus quilts.

WOOHOO!!
Congrats!

Fabulous news! Good for you, keep up your strength. Take plenty of vitamin/min. supplements and get rest. No doubt it was a difficult time for you and your husband. Awesome job, keep up the good work!

Congrats!!!

I am so happy for you. (((((((((((((((hug)))))))))))))) Celebrate and be happy.

Happy dance, happy dance, happy dance. What wonderful news.

My DS has been cancer free for about 15 years now.

Pray everything will continue to go as planned.

So glad to hear you are done. I pray that you will remain cancer free!!!

I'm so happy for you. (((((hugs)))))
Unfortunately I may be going down that road too. I'm having a mammogram and ultrasound tomorrow because they found something in my left breast at my physical. I'm crossing my fingers.

Great news. Congrats!

You just shout all you want!!!!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

That is GREAT news! Congrats! You brought tears to my eyes when I was reading your post! It is so good to hear good news! I am so happy for you!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Congratulations!! This is the best news!! What a great day indeed!! :)

We will all be keeping our fingers crossed for you that it turns out okay! You have the support of the whole group!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You shout from anywhere you want!

YAY - this is great news! So happy for you and very glad you shared it here. This is a wonderful group of people who can appreciate what you're going through and give you lots of support.

Happy quilting! :D

I wish you luck. Sometimes it seems like they are being extra cautious with women these days. Ultrasounds are nothing to go through, it will be very easy. Please let us know how you make out.

Congratulations! We're all so happy to share your good news.

((()))

Congrats!!!! I remember that wonderful day, and I just hit my 3 year mark. So good luck getting to yours.

YAY, congratulations to you too RedRummy for reaching the 3 year mark! :thumbup:

Me too.
My DH has prostrate cancer so we hold our breath every time he has a bone scan. That's where the cancer will go if it comes back.
I am so happy that you shared your good news with us. It's a major mile stone for you and your family.

That is wonderful news that you should celebrate...Congratulations!!!

I have had wonderful emails from lots of members here for myself and I want to let you know how much I appreciate them.
But, please, I didn't intend to divert the attention from the original poster about her great news!!!
Congratulations again!

Congratulations to you on passing this milestone. You've been through a lot and you deserve to celebrate! Both my older and younger sisters both had breast cancer and all that it entails with surgery and treatments. That was 10 years ago and they are both still cancer-free. So, good does happen!

Oh I am so happy for you!!! What wonderful news!! Prayers are with you for a continued recovery!! God is good!!

Woohoot! Congrats! Most definately a fantastic day :thumbup:

I'm in the same boat as you Quilter7x... Only they found 'something' in my right breast. The last mamo they have to compare the one I had two days ago was 8yrs old...

Friday I'll be going for another mamo & ultrasound. They're sending me to the breast cancer center to get the follow up instead of back to radiology (I wonder if this is the normal practice)... they said the appointment can take 2 hrs & that I'd get the results while I'm there (I wonder if this is normal practice too) *dEEp breath* I'm try'n not to allow myself to let my imagination run away w/me... what ever will be, will be. Plus I've heard from other women that it's not uncommon to have a follow up mamo especially when it's been a long time between them *Thinks to self - everything's gonna be just fine.*

A few thousands prayers from you all can't hurt! :-D Thanks

ALLTHUMBS: C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S!!!!!! Great to read about good news. Just allow yourself time to heal. I t has been a long road and I am sure you want to go back to quilting as soon as possible, BUT look after yourself first.

Hugs and best wishes to hubby too. ciao

Hi will be thinking of you. Just take it easy and think good thoughts. Sending you positive vibes. Keep us informed. Take care ciao

WOOHOOO!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! YAYYYYY!!!!

Such fantastic news! You made me cry I'm so happy for you! You get to join the Survivors club!

I am soooooooooooooooooooooo happy for you!!! I had surgery and chemo last year for cancer and remember very well how good it felt to be done done done! I'm so glad you are doing well.

Congratulations on being done.

I am wishing you other two Ladies Good Luck and hope you don't have cancer. I will say prayers for both of you.

That is absolutely fantastic and I am sooo happy for you!

Oh my gosh----I never dreamed so many would respond and with so much encouragement. I am a total stranger to everyone and yet I found courage and confidence blooming out all over the place. Yes, spring is just around the corner. Forgive me if I type in capitals but THANK YOU EVERYONE! And to those others who have or may have breast cancer testing results, I will add your unseen face to my prayer list. After all, our Lord knows who you are and knows who needs help. Thank you again and happy stitches to all.
All Thumbs

That is why this is such a wonderful site... we are a large and caring group of friends here!!!!!!!

Hi--I think you meant me instead of Quilter7x? They are sending me to a breast cancer center too for my tests so maybe that's not as ominous as it sounds. They also told me I'd get my results while I'm there and to be sure to ask for the cd of the tests so I can take it to my other doctors if needed. Sounds as if we're being told the same info. That's reassuring a little.
I go on 3-11-10. I'll be keeping good thoughts for you on 3-12-10. Let me know how yours turns out, OK?

Oopsy :) Yes, I meant you :)

It is reassuring to hear they told you the same thing. That means it's SOP. :thumbup: You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
