Going Public

[pslamont]

I have "test driven" this information with a few of you but know that my life has been a pretty open book so.... after two brain surgeries, placement of a shunt, radiation treatment and gamma knife (oh my), my last MRI in February showed that the tumors "APPEAR TO BE GONE". There is a small mark on the films that the neurosurgeon believes is scar tissue only. We will continue to scan periodically and see what happens but it is possible that I have beaten this cancer thing. It has been hard to wrap my head around it. Three months ago I was waiting to die. I am still weak and have post surgical evidence of damage to my right optic nerve so I don't see well to my left and the deficit is enough to keep me from driving. However, each week I get stronger and do more.

I am happy to THANK EACH OF YOU for your good thoughts, energy, prayer and whatever you have offered up to my benefit.

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says

"Oh Crap, She's up!"
