I just received my ninth clear PET scan report since completing chemo, nearly six years ago. Whew! I had a little bit of a scare and had several days of nervous waiting, but I’m all clear!
In those few days I let my thoughts go to some dark places. What if my sons have to spend their senior year with their mother going through chemo again? How many of those “last” moments would I have to miss while recovering in my well worn recliner, as the rest of the world continued to spin around me? How much would my husband, Paul, have to pick up the slack while he also focused his attention on his job?
What a gift to spend the first week of school getting good news about my health! I’m prepared for all those footballs games, fencing tournaments, Eagle Scout projects, college applications, and just plain simple dinners around the table together. (I just wish those senior pictures turned out better.)
Bring on senior year! I’m ready!
