Yes, that's right folks! The MRI yesterday showed NO MORE TUMOR!!!! Oh sure, there was scar tissue from the surgery and we're going to keep a close watch on that, but Dr. Porter said that it was just scar tissue. Her blood work was also the BEST IT'S EVER BEEN, which we're attributing to the beers consumed the night before. Dr. Porter didn't object to that assumption.
Yesterday was a good day at the Mayo Clinic. The empty desert wasteland around the building was covered in a velvet emerald green grass making it much more visually appealing. The weather was a pleasant 71F and the beer at Gordon Biersch was cold and refreshing. Last nights chemo session was puke-free and she slept the whole night.
One more month of chemo and then we're DONE!
We just watched a youtube video of a Beligum farting pig cartoon. Don't ask. Just watch. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8297574364836044520#
Training for the Big Sur Marathon is going really well and we now know what to put on the racing shirts. Two shirts one long sleeve and one short sleeve. "I had cancer, what's your excuse" and "Cancer treatment: The ultimate training program" on the front with "Thank you Mayo Clinic Dr. Zimmerman, Dr. Porter, Dr. Vora" on the back.
After the Big Sur Marathon then the focus is on the Livestrong Challenge Austin Bicycle charity ride. Thanks to those that have donated so far.
Now if that isn't the best news of the year, I don't know what is. So exactly what kind of beer was it that you were drinking, so we can all consume it to improve our own bloodwork?

Either I am really emotional right now, or that was a really powerful post ( I hope you know I mean the farting pig cartoon!). Seriously, you are a total rock f-ing star. Congratulations. Can't wait to see the shirts!
