Happy Dancing (with some reservations)

Happy Dancing!

I am doing the Happy Dance - with a little caution, since I do not yet have all the answers I was looking to get today at the clinic.

The oncologist pronouced my response to treatment as 'excellent'.  He is following up with the BC Cancer Agency today to find out if they will allow the maintenance protocol as a continuation of my treatment.

The prospect of remission increases from two years to six with the maintenance protocol.  He is hoping to have a positive answer by the time I go in to the clinic tomorrow.

Send all positive thoughts to the BCCA!  You can bet I'll be thinking hard at them all day today while I do my happy dance.

And enjoy the video clip.  We all need a little happy dancing in our lives.  :)

Oh, Laura, I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you. Just won't cross my eyes in case I need to drive tomorrow (grin).
Seriously, I have a friend who was diagnosed fifteen years ago and is still enjoying remission. It can and does happen!
