My dearest Sunshine ~ ever, and always...in my prayers

ryorkies · 10-19-2009, 04:30 AM

I do not know how to begin this message to you all, but after you read this you will understand.

I know that I have thanked you repeatedly for your thoughts and prayers, but I am sure that I have not come close to expressing it as much as I have felt it in my heart, as that just seems like such a huge impossibility.
You all took the time out of your very busy lives to pray for me and it doesn't get more loving and more caring than that in my world. My heart is just overflowing with gratitude.

I have learned from past experience that each hardship brings blessings that are not always understood, or comprehended, until much later, but I have received my Blessings in numerous ways this time and they begin with the friendships I have here with you.
This to me is the most wonderful of all the blessings and I thank God each and every day for this gift.

If this was not enough, he has provided proof, not only to me, but to each and every one of you that every prayer does NOT go unanswered and I will explain ....

I had my PT Scan on Thursday and Dale and I went Friday for the results and they were beyond what I had ever expected to hear.
I am in CCR ( COMPLETE CLINICAL REMISSION ), or otherwise called .... Dancing with NED ( NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE ) !!!!

When I arrived at the Cancer Center there were no patients in sight at a hospital where there are usually so many that a wait of hours is not unusual. I thought that it was a bit odd. My nurse mentioned to me that I had to be examined and when I mentioned that I was only there for a consultation re: my PT SCAN the nurse replied that the scan was the reason for the examination. Of course, Dale and I thought that this was going to be the worse news ever now. I was preparing myself for more devastating news at this point.

When I traveled down that long corridor there were only doctors and nurses standing at the end... not a patient in sight ...and they were all watching me. My goodness ... I was so frightened. Once I was given a room and undressed, the doctor arrived ( with about 5 other medical professionals ) and I asked her ... How bad is this and she replied,oh its just the opposite.
She proceeded to explain that everything ( Lymph Nodes and Tumors ) had shrunk and looked fantastic! I was thinking that beyond hope, I had reached " Stable " ( disease under control, but not gone ) stage and I would be able to enjoy the holidays without any treatment until it became out of control once again. Oh my goodness I was overjoyed !!!
She said that the exam went well too and I should get dressed and meet her in the conference room with Dale. I asked her not to say anything to him until I arrived.

I arrived at the conference room first and did not say, or admit, anything to Dale so that I might see his face when the doctor told him the good news. She came in and began to discuss the results and then proceeded to use the word Remission! Needless to say, I was just floored, because I thought the diagnosis was stable and that stable was the very best they could do for me. When I asked her if she truly meant CCR she said yes and I asked her ... how can this be when you told me previously that I would/could never reach this point that the best you could ever do was for a Stable diagnosis?
She replied .... " You tell me, please. It just doesn't happen and absolutely has not happened at this Cancer Center .... EVER, not with your stage and type of disease."

Just a few weeks ago I was informed that there was nothing more that they could do for me. That the cancer was not responding to the treatment and it was time to find a clinical trial that might help me.
We have gone from that to .... REMISSION !!!

I firmly believe that it is a direct result of your prayers and positive thoughts. I have NO doubt and anyone who does not believe the power of prayer only needs to do a little research to closely examine what the clinical outcome usually is of someone like me who is diagnosed with what I HAD and which NO longer exists.

I asked her about the tremendous pain I was feeling and the fatigue and she told me that it all is a result of the treatment and hopefully will disappear with time. If it does not, they will do their best to correct the damage. I have an MRI scheduled for the beginning of November to help pinpoint the exact cause and hopefully the anemia will disappear in time.

I ask of you today/tonight to say another prayer please.
Please take a moment to thank God for this Blessing and to acknowledge the power of prayer.
I will be saying a prayer not only tonight, but every night, thanking you all for the Love and Compassion you have shown me and for believing in me and the power of prayer.

A huge cloud has dissipated and in its place we are seeing nothing but Rainbows .

Oh Janie, what wonderful news. I have tears streaming down my face and felt chills run through my body when I was reading your post. God is so good and I thank Him from the bottom of my heart for this miracle.

luckylady · 10-19-2009, 05:26 AM

Janie, I am so filled with joy for you right now and I am sure it in no way compares to the joy you must be feeling! Like you at the arrival of your consultation, I was feeling the same at the beginning of your post. But thankfully I too am sharing in tears of joy as I read your post further and am again in awe of the power of prayer and God. Bless you Janie; even having never met you I know you are an amazing person. I hope to have the honor of meeting you in person some day.

Bizzymammabee · 10-19-2009, 05:29 AM

Oh Janie this makes me feel so good. I really needed to hear something like this. My heart is just so full of joy for you. This news was much needed. I was feeling a bit down since last night since I recieved word of an old friend passing.

The Power of Prayer is truly part of the greater miracle.

Sending you many hugs and continued prayers.

ryorkies · 10-19-2009, 05:40 AM

Thank you so much Shirl,
Dale and I are still letting in sink in and to believe that it actually happened. The doctors were in Awe when they went over it at the Tumor Board and then read the reports. I think they all thought that I would be hearing terrible news and moving on to clinical trials. This was a complete shock to everyone.
