That’s what Dr. M said today when I went in for my post-scan apt. He read straight off the report “no evidence of anything”! So um yeah…that was awesome news.

2 years. It’s been two years since He first told me I was in remission. I think the words “complete remission” were even used today, but I think we really have to wait for the 5 year mark. But, 2 years was the big one.

I am so excited. It was kinda weird. You expect big speakers to fall from the sky and angel music to start playing…you know kinda like what you hear in the background when you look at a picture of the Taj Mahal.

There was definite retail therapy had this afternoon and I might just the new proud mama to a pair of black, peep-toe Bandolinos. Maybe, just maybe.

But, I am so ecstatic.

I was also recently bestowed the honor as a Hero of Hope. This is a great ambassador program that the ACS has and after an application, interview and selection process, I was chosen, along with another girl, to represent Arkansas ACS over the next year at events throughout the state. I’m super excited!

We have a training later this fall and then after some “bonding” with my fellow Heroes, we will be trained and ready for the year ahead. In a lot of ways, I really feel like this is why I had cancer. Speaking and using my voice is a gift and I feel very grateful for the responsibility ahead of me.

I’m sure you will hear lots of stories about the road trips, speaking engagements and people I meet.

Thank you for YOUR support in this process. I still feel so blessed to have had your shoulders to stand on while I’ve walked this journey.
