I'm Cancer FREE!!!

I got GREAT news today from my doctor. My PET Scan results came back normal! All the cancer is gone! I was a little anxious going to the clinic today to find out. Even though I felt really good that the results were going to come back normal, I was still preparing myself for the worst just in case.

So, I had treatment #8 today and will have to have 3 more treatments of Chemo (just to make sure what is gone stays gone!) Then I will get a break for a few weeks and then most likely will need about 3 weeks of radiation. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Although treatments are never fun, for some reason I think they might be a little easier now that I can see the end in sight.

Shane came with me to my appointment this time for great support. When the doctor left the room after sharing the great news I burst into tears. Shane looked kind of confused until I was able to explain that they were finally tears of joy!!

Thank you all for your prayers, prayers really are answered!

We're really happy for you Sheri. We were just talking about you last night actually, hoping your test results came back with good news. And I can totally understand the crying thing. I would have too. Tears of joy and MAJOR relief.

Sheri,
It's Amy Hansen, your long lost friend that used to live up by you and play with you and Brigette all the time. :) I have been keeping tabs on you with Brigette, and follow your blog all the time. I even attached your blog site to mine. :) I'm located at amyhansenfamily.blogspot.com just incase you want to check up on me. :) I have been praying for you every night in my prayers, and this was just another testimony that prayers are answered. I am so happy for you and love you dearly. Maybe when you get all through this you and Brigette should come down to St. George and we could plan another little 'Girls Weekend'. :) I love you, babe. Good luck with the rest of chemo and radiation.

Sheri, when I announced to my mom and dad tonight about your being "cancer free," they let out a cheer! We're all so happy for you and hope everything keeps looking up for you in the future. So fun to see you at Jeff's wedding. I absolutely adore you and all my Goold cousins!
