HOME RUN

The verdict is in: COMPLETE RESOLUTION OF LYMPHOMA. Unreal and also very quite amazing. I don't even have words (that's saying something).

There are spots showing inflammation (or possible infection) in my lungs, however, Dr. H believes it to be the pneumonitis he previously suggested. Now there's scientific proof that I'm not imagining the breathing problems (sometimes it's not the anxiety causing the shortness of breath, but rather the shortness of breath causing the anxiety). This could take months to resolve, but I'll take it over bad cancery dudes in my mediastinum any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

I'd like to thank the Academy... and the Hollywood Foreign Press (I've just always wanted to say that). Mostly, big, giant, all-the-way-around hugs to all of you friends, family and anonymous people hoping and wishing and praying for me. Couldn't have made it here alone.

And now, for that very expensive bottle of champagne...

CHEERS! L'CHAIM!!

  4. Champagne is the least of the things you should do to celebrate! This rates a week of fun in the sun- with palm trees, blue skies, a personal servant/masseuse, and all the family you can find to go along. ~Hannah

  10. I was in the lab and took a facebook break and shouted a big hooray at work when I read THE POST OF THE CENTURY! Gill did too. Wait till your lungs heal to go back to work. We love you lots, Mia.
